Strands #370
“Two thumbs up”
💡🔵💡🔵
🟡🔵🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. This one was rather annoying. Not only does the theme of “Two thumbs up” give almost nothing away, but the answers seem to have nothing in common, if you’re not on top of your Oscar history.
That meant I needed to use two clues to get started. The first – CODA – told me absolutely nothing, so I used a second, which revealed PLATOON.
Now I understood: this was all about Oscar winners, and I quickly got the spangram of BESTPICTURE to divide the grid into two.
Now it was a case of figuring out the three remaining films. I found SPOTLIGHT curling around the top-right corner and another ‘light’ movie on the opposite side in the form of MOONLIGHT.
Finally, I found PARASITE in the bottom-left corner to complete the puzzle.
