Today's Strands Breakdown
I found a few words quite rapidly, only to stumble in the final moments. I managed to snag WADDLE, STRUT, and SHUFFLE right off the bat, then worked my way backward once I spotted the 'ING' and 'MOVING.' Eventually, I pieced together the spangram, GETMOVING. STROLL followed, followed by TIPTOE, although that called for a moment's thought. It was the bottom right corner's SKIP and MOSEY that proved the most challenging, even though MOSEY seemed almost too short to get lost. I persevered, though, and eventually, I got there!
