    I found so many unrelated words that out of spite i completed the whole puzzle using hints, even when not needed.

    Not sure why today felt more rough than normal.

    I feel like the last two days they’ve been playing loose with the spangram.

    Anyone else try to guess the yellow before any of the blues?

    I do shit like this to “section off” words:

    I have never disliked a Strands puzzle I’ve played as much as I dislike this one. I like a challenge, but today’s puzzle seems contrived.

    Spoiler

    I only found the spangram after frustratedly trying “thatssohated”. I’d previously gotten hint credit for “money”, “rich”, and “wealth”. I’d even tried “fluent” and didn’t even register “affluent” being an option. The spangram was more than just a stretch, it was a full on backbend.
