The answers to today's Strands, game #84, are CEASE DESIST FORGIVE FORGET 
DIVIDE CONQUER SPANGRAM: ACTIONVERBS My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect 

This is a bit of a bizarre one, to be honest. There's nothing wrong with the 
concept  the theme clue, 'Two-step process', nicely sums up the idea of words 
that go together, such as CEASE and DESIST. But I'm a bit baffled as to why 
the spangram is ACTIONVERBS. I mean yes, they are action verbs  but that's 
really not the defining quality here. There are, after all, hundreds of 
action verbs, but the reason why these ones have been chosen is because they 
go together in pairs. 

OK, so, we've already had one Strands puzzle with PAIRED as the spangram, so 
I can see why the NYT wanted to avoid repeating that, but is there not a 
different, more relevant word/phrase that could have been used here. 
BEDFELLOWS or something. 

Anyway, I managed to solve it, but there was a lot of trial and error 
involved. Each pair of words was essentially completed in the same way: find 
one half by playing words randomly until one turned blue, then look for its 
partner and find it very quickly. Not my favorite Strands game ever, frankly.
