Strands #403
“What's the buzz?”
🟡🔵🔵🔵
🔵🔵🔵
Hello Strands enthusiasts! For today’s task, we have something simple and straightforward. Whenever I hear the term "buzz," bees come to mind immediately, which led me directly to placing BUMBLEBEE at the base of the board.
Initially, I believed it was merely an alternative solution instead of the pangram, but once “hornet” didn’t work out, I understood it was indeed the cornerstone of the challenge. This realization simplified the puzzle, prompting me to start searching for elements related to a bee.
I first found WINGS along the right-hand side, followed by THORAX on the left. ANETENNAE was above both, going from the top left to the top-right corner.
Next up was STINGER, positioned right above the spangram in the lower left corner, with TONGUE appearing on the opposing side. This meant only ABDOMEN remained to be solved in the center to finish the puzzle.
