Hi Strands fans. Even though I didn't wind up using any clues, I did find today's puzzle rather challenging. As a result, I ended up completing the puzzle in order from top to bottom, with each new answer revealing another place to dig.
The two 'Z's on the top row intrigued me, so I made PUZZLE my first answer. That revealed TRUCK to its left, which made it pretty clear the theme was about toys.
With that in mind, I got SLIME and DOLL immediately below the two answers I had, which cleared the path for the spangram: TOYSTORE.
BLOCKS was spelt backwards immediately below that, and I then spotted TRICYCLE in the bottom left-hand corner. That only left PUPPET to find on the opposite side to complete the puzzle.
As I say, a tricky one that, given there are any number of words that could fit the TOYSTORE brief. Still, I got there in the end...
