The answers to today's Strands, game #74, are BITTER SALTY SWEET SOUR UMAMI 
PIQUANT SPICY TART SPANGRAM: FLAVORS My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

I hated Tuesday's Strands puzzle (the one about charcuterie), but despite 
covering a similar food-based topic, this one was much more satisfying  not 
least because it makes sense! The only trouble with it is that similar to 
yesterday's (see below) it's arguably too easy. 

I found BITTER, SALTY, SWEET and SOUR swiftly, based on the theme clue and on 
all four being rather simple words. UMAMI was a little harder because I 
couldn't remember how it was spelled, but once I had the spangram I ticked 
that one off too. The remaining answers followed quickly afterwards.
