The answers to today's Strands, game #446, are FAVA KIDNEY BLACK GREEN NAVY CANNELLINI SPANGRAM: BEAN SALAD My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

The biggest challenge today was working out how to spell CANNELLINI. Other than that, this was one of the fastest games of Strands Ive ever played
maybe because I eat so many beans.

I immediately knew what we were looking for from the theme the musical fruit as, well, beans do have a reputation of causing people to perform a few bum notes. The way to avoid this is to use dry beans that have been soaked overnight in a pinch of salt, but thats quite a palaver if youre just a
casual BEAN SALAD chomper.

As to the argument over the classification of beans, the answer is thattechnically, beans are a type of fruit, specifically a legume. However, they are often categorized as vegetables and youre unlikely to find them hanging out with bananas.
