    The answers to today's Strands, game #289, are CRIME FANTASY ROMANCE WESTERN HISTORICAL SPANGRAM: FICTION GENRE My rating: Easy My score: 1 hint

    According to Writers Digest there are 114 FICTION GENREs and sub genres and thats not including WESTERN (a genre of literature set in the American Old West frontier and typically set from the late eighteenth to the late nineteenth century).

    Alternative genres todays Strands could have included: Fabulist, Dark
    fantasy, Biopunk, Supernatural Menace, and Bangsian Fantasy (stories speculating on the afterlives of famous people). Oh, and Wuxia (fantasy tales set within the martial arts traditions and philosophies of China). I suspect if any of those had been included I might have struggled more than I did
    here.

    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.
