I saw pumpkin and squash immediately. And I love me some kohlrabi.

The harvest was coming along nicely, then got stuck on kohlrabi. Never heard of it.

Had to find words to bank to use a hint, then more words to reveal the order of those letters.

At least I learned a new word, and that a hint can also show word order.

:large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle: I saw pumpkin quickly then saw harvest ( taking the h from kohlrabi ) I was surprised it wasn’t the spanagram. I had to stare at the board for a while to see the other h and Fall above it. Kohlrabi was my last word.

Kohlrabi was like the Strands equivalent of the purple category in Connections. I only got it because it was what was left over. At least they were nice about leaving it all strung out.

You all need to try some kohlrabi. Just eat it raw. Peel it, slice it, easy as that.

Worse. I knew it was the 7th/7 words to find and still used a hint to reveal it (duh, not helpful). Used another hint to spell it out for me. Still didn’t recognize it and looked it up. Now I know.

After a few few jabs, fight went the distance.

Punching above my weight, got heavy then light. Saw box but missed -ing.

Once I saw heavy and light, I knew what it was about. Cruiser was my last word. Was not familiar with that class.

Took a bit to get tuned in.

“Channel surfing”
:yellow_circle::large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle:
:large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle: It took a little bit to get going but once I saw Hallmark I got the theme. I saw History and Lifetime which took out the whole bottom of the board and underlined the spanagram.

“Fresh out of the oven”
:yellow_circle::large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle:
:large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle::large_blue_circle: Saw roast then found scone and Danish and caught onto the theme.

Can’t say I know what a galette is, just got lucky trying to spell it.

Had to take a double hint for galette. The rest took about 30 seconds.

Took a guess on pageboy. Cut through the rest of the stuff quickly

Pageboy by default. When I was kid we called that style, ‘my mom cut my hair’.
