Today’s Strands Breakdown

I was a little stumped at first today. I just couldn’t see any words, no matter how hard I looked, and then the words I could find made no sense and weren’t correct. It wasn’t until I finally spotted TIMES in the right corner that it clicked. From here I found GLOBE and noticed the ‘PER’ between the two words. Tracing that back, I found PAPER and finally the spangram, NEWSPAPER. Now everything came together quickly enough. JOURNAL and HERALD first, then CHRONICLE and finally TRIBUNE. Hooray for newspapers! I’m just a little surprised we didn’t get a POST, as in The Washington.
