Today’s Strands Analysis
Fashion trends recur, and it seems the 80s are popular once again with today's trendy youth. I can't keep up with this time-travel madness. I stumbled upon MULLET initially and then NEON right beneath it, leading me to find the spangram and swiftly grab EIGHTIES. The challenging words were SPANDEX —I kept seeing SEX, of course—and WINDBREAKER, which I conquered at the very end.
