The answers to today's Strands, game #444, are MATCH PAIR PARTNERS TWINS TWOSOME COUPLE SPANGRAM: DOUBLE TROUBLE My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

Sometimes it can take a while to see the spangram in its entirety. Id tapped out double, doubles, and doublers before I saw DOUBLE TROUBLE.

Todays theme is, of course, based around the phrase twos company, threes a crowd but I was uncertain what we were looking for originally so began by looking for words that would give me a hint.

After seeing the word PATCH I looked for other words with the same A-T-C-H ending and got MATCH, quickly followed by PAIR and PARTNERS.

Incidentally, I asked Google who the most famous TWINS in the world are and
it responded with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. My favorite British twins are Xand and Chris van Tulleken, two celebrity British doctors who I struggle to tell apart and whose names I struggle to spell, but who are both wonderful medical mythbusters and podcasters. Not as famous as the Olsens and unlikely to start a boho chic fashion empire, but equally interesting.
