The answers to today’s Strands, game #219, are…
LOCKPASSWORDSAFEBACKUPFIREWALLENCRYPTIONSPANGRAM: SECURITY
My rating: ModerateMy score: 2 hints
The trouble here was that even once I realized the theme was SECURITY, as the spangram would have it, I was thinking physical and not digital. That’s maybe not surprising as my first hint had given me LOCK, and combined with the theme clue of ‘Protective measures’ that got me thinking of ways you protective yourself in the world, rather specifically online. And indeed, they weren’t all online – SAFE was also in there. But thinking of the likes of ENCRYPTION and FIREWALL was harder, so I needed another hint to get me to the finish line, safe and sound.
