The answers to today's Strands, game #273, are RECEIVER SWITCH DIAL CRADLE HANDSET RINGER SPANGRAM: ROTARYPHONE My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect
This was another nice Strands puzzle, with a straightforward theme in some ways, but more interesting than some due to both the nostalgia factor and the fact that its era made it harder.
We're talking here about the ROTARYPHONE, a device that those under about 30 will probably only know from TV shows such as Stranger Things. It really does seem incredible that as recently as the 1990s or certainly the '80s these were ubiquitous but now they're hardly seen at all. Then again, it seems equally unlikely that people wouldn't be able to contact you on the go, or that only one member of a household could have a telephone conversation at once.
The theme clue here was fairly cryptic, but I spotted RECEIVER by accident
and that gave me the concept right away. After that it was a question of raiding my childhood memories of life in a world where you actually had to remember people's phone number
