Strands #390
“Wise ones”
💡🔵💡🔵
🔵🟡🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. This one was a bit too vague for me, and even once I knew what it was about, it was still tricky to get the remaining answers.
“Wise ones”, it turns out, relates to those imparting wisdom, but it took me two clues to even figure that out. Once SAGE in the bottom left and ELDER in the top right were revealed, I understood the topic, but still wasn’t quite sure what the collective term might be.
Still, I got VISIONARY on the right-hand side, which let me see the start of it: “guiding”. I then followed round possible ends, to connect GUIDINGLIGHT in a neat lamp shape.
That left two answers to find: PHILOSOPHER was down the left-hand side, and THINKER was in the bottom-right corner to finish the puzzle.
