I like this type of strand. A few weeks ago, there was one that included recognizable lyrics from a Queen song bohemian rhapsody. It was definitely a more difficult puzzle. The moment I found this, BELLS and SNOW, I started humming it. Walk through a winter wonderland To myself. The trickiest word was GLISTENING. Because there were two ways to order the N at the end of the word. Today’s strand is fun, if not terribly difficult.
