It took me a long time to get started with today's Strands, to the point where I needed a hint to get started. The “Here, There, and Everywhere” theme suggested only “The Beatles” to me, which was obviously wrong (although I checked), so it was only when the game showed me UP that it became clear what I was looking for. After that it was easy – there are only a certain number of words based on LOCATION, and I was able to find them all within a couple of minutes.
