Hi Strands fans. A New Year's Eve puzzle for New Year's Eve. Though the theme of "Resolutions" made me think of that usually over-optimistic wishlist of self-improvement for the new year, rather than its other meaning of concluding something.
After struggling to find anything to do with diet and exercise, I used a clue that revealed CODA, which put me on the right track. After connecting this, I quickly found CONCUSION spelt diagonally downwards from the top left, followed by FINALE to its right.
EPILOGUE appropriately concluded the top half, before I turned my attention to the bottom half. Here I found ENDING diagonally along the middle. It left the perfect gap for the spangram of ITSOVER, which left just CONCLUSION in the bottom left to complete the puzzle.
Happy New Year, Strands fans. See you in 2025.
