Strands #293

“Keep the Faith”

🔵🔵🔵🔵

🟡🔵

Hello Strands fans. I was very lucky today that I got the longest answer straight away.

I saw TABERNACLE in the top right corner and after a few attempts to spell it correctly (it’s not a word I use daily) it turned blue and made it clear that the topic of “Keeping the Faith” was about places of worship.

With this thought in mind I found the MOSQUE on the left and then the TEMPLE on the right.

It spelled out MONASTERY at the bottom, and that got me ready to tackle the Spangram. In fact, I found SACREDSPACES written backwards from right to left.

This left only a five-letter anagram that needed to be deciphered to complete the puzzle. BBAEY was of course ABBEY.
