When people say that Thursday is the new Friday, they’re typically referring to it being the main office night out day. In my case, it’s more about it being the day at which I start wishing it were already the weekend.

The answers to today’s Strands, game #46, are…
THREAD
NEEDLE
STITCH
THIMBLE
SEAM
CLOTH
PATCH
SPANGRAM: TAILORING
My rating: Easy
My score: Perfect
The pun-tastic theme hint today made this game a relatively easy one. ‘Sew what?’ could only really refer to one thing – there’s no room for ambiguity there, is there? – so the challenge was simply in finding the relevant words.
NEEDLE was an obvious one, as were THREAD and STITCH. I guessed TAILOR fairly early on, too, but when that didn’t turn blue I realized it must be part of the spangram instead; TAILORING then gave the board some structure and it was easy enough to find the remaining words.
