PRINTERSCISSORSPENCILSSTAPLERRULERSPANGRAM: OFFICESUPPLIES My rating: Easy My score: Excellent
As a father of teenage daughters, I’m very familiar with all the office supplies on the Strands today. Not because they work in an office, of course, but because they are in school and seem to deal with about 20 rulers and 50 pencils a year, always need help using the printer and are still a little clueless about how to use scissors. Or a stapler. Kids today, eh? Obviously, a lot of time is spent in front of the screen.
Regardless of my parenting issues, this was an easy puzzle to solve. The subject guide provided a good nudge in the right direction, and when I found PRINTER by chance, my course was duly charted. I didn’t have to think about any of the words, and there was no real challenge other than the rather long and complicated letters.
