Strands No. 225

“Get out of here!”

Hello Strands fans. That was a difficult question for me. Not only was the subject difficult to understand, but even once I did, many of the answers were Americanisms that simply wouldn't have occurred to me as a Brit.

At first I thought “get out of here” referred to forms of farewell or general farewell phrases. In fact, I assumed that the “X” would be part of “exit”.

After being at a loss for words on the subject, I had to use not one, but two clues. The first revealed FOAM and the second TAPE, which initially seemed to have nothing in common. Then I realized it was about moving and the mystery was solved.

Well, sort of. I quickly got TRUCK, BOXES, CRATE and the spangram from MOVINGDAY, but the other answers are either not the words we would use on this side of the Atlantic or they didn't apply to the many moves I've done recently have the years.

In other words, finding DOLLY, STRAP and BUNGEE was a frustrating game of trial and error. Fortunately, everyone was in a different corner, which made the exercise easier than if they were all wrapped around each other.

Nevertheless: A nice, simple puzzle tomorrow please, puzzle setter?
