Even though I knew from the pictogram that the theme was DUCKDUCKGOOSE, I still managed to miss getting a very obvious Spangram First — the Strands equivalent of missing an open goal in soccer.
Instead, I begin with WALK then saw the first of the two ducks and felt like a fool.
I also missed the chance of getting the components of the game in order, which would have been satisfying. Instead, much like when I played DUCKDUCKGOOSE as a child, I just ploughed into the GAME without thinking.
