Hi Strands fans. No doubt this one will be extremely easy for those celebrating Thanksgiving. For me, sat here turkey-less in London, I sadly had to use two clues to get me started - and was subsequently left kicking myself.

If the first clue had been TURKEY, I'd have got the hint, but YAMS just left me confused. It was only when the second clue revealed GRAVY that I remembered what day it is. Happy Thanksgiving, US readers.

Anyway, it got easier as a result. I duly found TURKEY in the top-right corner, followed by ROLLS in the bottom right. POTATOES completed the top half, and I then found CRANBERRIES in the bottom left.

That created a single path to spell out the spangram loud and clear: LETSFEAST. Enjoy your holiday, American readers!
