- SPANGRAM: TOGETHER
- My rating: Easy going
- My score: Perfect
My first thoughts after seeing today’s topic was famous married couples or double acts, but Strands is rarely that simple.
Instead, we were given some words that like to hang together – MILK and CEREALS, SOAP and WATER, ARTS and CRAFTS, and big mates RHYTHM and BLUES. Rhythm is a word I always struggle to spell well, so it took me a while to connect the letters even though I knew what I was looking for. It looks weird, the R, the H, the Y, the M at the end.
There were a lot of words “TOGETHER” missing, of course, including a few that I’ve never heard except with their partners – Kith and Kin for example, big ’80s synth band (not really) Flotsam and Jetsam, To and Fro, ou mo. Favorite Kit and Caboodle. I think we should free “caboodle” from “kit” and get some proper light. It’s a great word that deserves to be more than a brand of dog food. My friends might think I’m crazy, but I’m going to put it into conversation – I’m going to sell a caboodle of clothes on eBay and I’m going to have fun at the roller disco on Saturday. . Word of the year 2025, caboodle, I can see it now.
