The answers to today’s Strands, game #205, are…

MARTIAN
CYBORG
DROID
MUTANT
ROBOT
ALIEN
SPANGRAM: SCIENCEFICTION

My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect

I probably found this Strands game to be even easier than most given that I’ve been reading SCIENCEFICTION, as the spangram would have it, for about four decades. But even if I hadn’t I doubt I would have struggled too much here. Some of the words are slightly, well, basic for the topic – as I said, I read a lot of sci-fi and MUTANTS and MARTIANS really don’t crop up that much compared to plenty of other themes, such as time-travel, space flight, AI and the cyberverse. But as a child’s guide to the genre, it just about works.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
