  • TICK
  • MINUTE
  • JIFFY
  • FLASH
  • MOMENT
  • SECOND

  • SPANGRAM: SMALLTIME

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

The subtitle to this Strands puzzle could easily be "Words you use when you tell someone you're going to do something immediately but really you're just going to finish scrolling through social media/complete this video game boss fight/watch the end of this episode/fail to raise yourself off the couch". Or at least that's my experience, because I am always telling people – mainly my other half – that I will get that washing up done in a SECOND, or walk the dog in a MOMENT, when really it's more a long or at least medium amount of time, rather than SMALLTIME as the spangram would have it.

None of that made this game any harder to solve – it's a pretty simple one – but playing it did delay the household chores I was supposed to be doing in a JIFFY, so it was at least apt.

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
