The answers to today's Strands, game #452, are BUTTERFLY MOTH WASP FLEA
HORNET DRAGONFLY SPANGAM: INSECT My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

After getting BUTTERFLY, MOTH and WASP in succession, I thought we were looking for a spangram describing flying minibeasts. Instead it was the much more straightforward INSECT

A six-letter spangram is very off-brand for Strands these days, but this game's ability to keep players guessing is impressive. That said, this was
one of our easier days.

I know many people like them, but the sight of a DRAGONFLY freaks me out a
bit as Ive got an irrational fear that theyre going to fly in my mouth. So, whenever I see one I clamp my mouth shut. I guess Im the freak, not them.

That said, they do breathe out of their rectums, so there is that too. I
don't want something that breathes out its rectum in my mouth, thanks.
