The answers to today's Strands, game #566, are MUDDLE PICKLE DILEMMA MESS 
QUANDARY PREDICAMENT SPANGRAM: INAFIX My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

My first hunch was that todays Strands would be a search for Dire Straits 
songs  but that was very short-lived. Thankfully, this didnt come through, 
not least because I could only think of three of their songs and alone theyd 
fill up the entire game. 

In the end the theme didnt really match the words we were looking for, to me 
dire straits signifies an extreme situation where your options have run dry, 
whereas our search words describe a tangle that can be rescued. 

Anyway, I digress. Starting my search in the top-left-hand corner I 
discovered PICKLE and from there worked my way around without getting myself 
in much of a MUDDLE. I cant imagine many found this game to be a PREDICAMENT.
