The answers to today's Strands, game #829, are…
- PHOTO
- FILE
- SOFTWARE
- DOCUMENT
- APPLICATION
- SONG
- SPANGRAM: DOWNLOAD
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 hint
My first thoughts around the theme “something just clicked” was either something to do with things with switches or maybe songs with finger clicks (Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie is my favorite).

It’s rare that we have a game word longer than the spangram and I’m struggling to work out how I completely failed to see the word APPLICATION.
Instead, I began with PHOTO, which kept me on a “things with switches and buttons” track before a hint gave me FILE and I changed my thinking.
