The answers to today's Strands, game #865, are…

  • TACK
  • ZIGZAG
  • TURN
  • VEER
  • DEVIATE
  • PIVOT
  • SWERVE

  • My rating: Hard
  • My score: 1 hint

Rerouting… is a word I used to see a lot when I used a sat nav in my car, so this is exactly the theme I was expecting β€” but I still struggled over it.

It’s not until you play Strands that you realize how many different ways there are to say the same thing, in this case a change of direction.

I took a hint to get going, but TACK didn’t help much. Then, I connected the two Zs for ZIGZAG and finally got motoring.

  • QUIXOTIC
  • IDEALISTIC

  • IMPRACTICAL
  • SPANGRAM: PIEINTHESKY
  • My rating: Hard
  • My score: 1 hint

Just four long words made up today’s game, but that didn’t make the search any easier.

I am more familiar with a slight variation on today’s theme β€” rose-tinted spectacles β€” which I had viewed as meaning to look favorably on something you are biased towards (such as the fortunes of your team). But the words here leaned more towards fanaticism.

Regardless of interpretation I needed a hint to get going and was rewarded with QUIXOTIC, a word I would have failed to see otherwise. From here I found the other two words with a T-I-C ending, before the spangram helped me to locate IMPRACTICAL.

  • CHAIR
  • ROCKER
  • BEANBAG
  • OTTOMAN
  • RECLINER
  • THRONE
  • SPANGRAM: HAVEASEAT
  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

Today’s search takes from the high-born of the seating world (THRONE), to the lowest (BEANBAG).

If I am going to make myself comfortable then I would pick the BEANBAG any day. Although it does depend on how long you’ve owned it; a baggy bean bag is nobody’s friend. Having said that, I’ve not sat in many thrones. Or indeed any, but judging by House of the Dragon, they’re not particularly ergonomic.

Anyway, it was hard not to whizz around today’s game, with even the longest and most obscure word, OTTOMAN, being easy to spot thanks to the double T.
