The answers to today's Strands, game #100, are…

  • LIFT
  • ELEVATE
  • EXALT
  • SUPPORT
  • HOIST
  • BOOST
  • LEVITATE
  • SPANGRAM: ALLRISE

  • My rating: Moderate
  • My score: Perfect

This is a slightly more standard Strands puzzle than some, in that rather than being grouped words as such it's mostly synonyms. That said, the spangram, ALLRISE, doesn't really fit that pattern. Or maybe I'm being unfair – I suppose all of the answers do mean RISE, so in that sense it works. 

Either way, I found this to be a little harder than some Strands puzzles. Thinking of synonyms should be second nature to me, but it's easier in theory than practice, and even once I thought of one I couldn't necessarily uncover it; it took me ages to place ELEVATE, for instance. Still, I got there in the end.
