The answers to today's Strands, game #157, are DOUGH MISTLETOE WHOA RAINBOW 
CHATEAU AVOCADO SPANGRAM: RHYMETIME My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect 

I sort of like this Strands puzzle, but also don't. Let me explain: on the 
one hand, I love the concept of 'words that all end with an 'O' sound. And I 
love even more that they're all different O sounds; OUGH, OE, OA, OW, EAU and 
indeed O. It's creative, it's challenging and it makes for a great instalment 
of Strands. 

However, it has a flaw  and it concerns the spangram. The game's rules state 
that the spangram "describes the game's theme", but today's is RHYMETIME. 
Does that really describe the theme? Well, in one sense  because obviously 
all of these words rhyme. But the theme here isn't just 'rhyming words', it's 
specifically 'rhyming words that all have an 'O' sound'. I'm not sure how 
that could have been turned into a spangram, admittedly, but surely the NYT's 
puzzle setters could have tried. 

Still, I'm being picky here. This is a fun Strands game that I enjoyed 
playing, and that's enough for me.
