线索 (Strands)

我喜欢玩《纽约时报》的网上游戏「Strands」（线索）。它属于单词搜寻谜题游戏（word search game)。

一般的单词寻找谜题游戏并不难解开，但是 Strands 有时候真的很难。今天（12月28日）的谜题对我来说特别难。我早上还在赖床的时候试了快十分钟可是连一个词都解不开。当时我以为可能是因为才刚醒来，头脑还是模糊不清所以才解不开谜题。因此我暂时把它放下，先去吃早餐、遛狗等等。过了差不多一个小时以后又试了一次，但还是解不开！我整天大概试了五、六次，每次5～10分钟，到晚上六点半才终于把第一个词解开了。第一个词解开了以后，剩下的四个词很快就来了。 😮‍💨

希望明天的谜题不会像今天的这么难⋯⋯😜

I like playing the New York Times online game "Strands." It is a word search game.

Normal word search games aren't hard to solve, but sometimes Strands is really hard. Today's puzzle (December 28th) was particularly difficult for me. I tried for almost ten minutes in the morning while I was still lying in bed, but I couldn't even solve one word. I thought maybe it was because I had just woken up and my mind was still hazy, so I put the game aside and went to get breakfast, walk the dog, etc. However, when I tried again almost an hour later, I still couldn't get it! I tried about five or six times throughout the day, each time for 5 to 10 minutes, and finally solved the first word at 6:30 pm. After I got the first word, the remaining four words came quickly. 😮‍💨

I hope tomorrow’s game won’t be this difficult… 😜
