HILLBROOKSCASHPAISLEYSWIFTURBANTWAINSPANGRAM: COUNTRYSTARSMy rating: ModerateMy score: Perfect
This is one of those Strands games where the theme clue potentially makes it very easy – but where that may not help if you don’t know a lot about the subject. The subject in question is COUNTRYSTARS, as per the spangram, though whether Taylor SWIFT can really be described as a country star these days is debatable.
Fortunately for me, I’m a huge Johnny CASH fan, and though none of the other musicians listed here and on my personal playlist, I know enough about the genre that I didn’t struggle to find any of them. Maybe I would have done if the spangram hadn’t been so easy to locate, but with that in place much of the hard work was done.
