I found today’s Strands puzzle a bit challenging. The theme was to say names that sound similar to the given words, like GALE for GAIL and FILL for PHIL. However, some answers like HAIRY and MERRY seemed like a stretch. I couldn’t figure out ATOM’s homophone either. Overall, it was a good puzzle, not too hard. I enjoy homophones as a topic for the game.
