The answers to today's Strands, game #296, are BROOK HOLLY RIVER CLEMENTINE LAUREL WILLOW SPANGERAM: NATURE NAMES My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect
Even after completing todays Strands it took me a while to understand what
was meant by NATURE NAMES then BROOK Shields, HOLLY Hunter, WILLOW Johnson, and RIVER Phoenix popped into my mind.
I was hard-pressed to think of anyone famous called CLEMENTINE or LAUREL, however.
Both are pretty rare names in general. According to the Social Security Administration in 2023 there were 543 babies named Clementine and just 391 called Laurel. For comparison, 15,270 girls in the US were named Olivia in 2023.
