The answers to today's Strands game number 96 are…
- KAPPA

Yesterday I said we just had the easiest Strands game of the week, but Friday's game is even simpler, to the point where I completed the whole thing in about a minute. Oh really. Will anyone have problems with this? I seriously doubt it. After all, there are a limited number of letters in the Greek alphabet: 24, to be exact. But it's unlikely many are associated with a sorority, according to the topic track.
KAPPA caught my attention immediately, and then those double letters in GAMMA caught my attention. Companies like ALPHA, BETA and DELTA were also obvious. Did this make any sense? Not really: I think Strands must be much harder to get out of beta.
As was your day? Send me an email and let me know.
