Strands #338

Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today, with a none-too-cryptic theme.
When I saw 'X' in the bottom-left corner, I knew it had to be part of PIXIE, and from there I was pretty methodical in finding answers around existing ones, rather than scanning the whole board.
I found SPRITE to its right and then HOBGOBLIN twisted above it. That neatly exposed the spangram: IMPISH, written from left to right above the three answers I'd collected.
The top half was equally straightforward. I found the longest answer - LEPRECHAUN - twisted around the left-hand side, followed by GREMLIN to its right. And that just left FAIRY in the top-right corner to complete the puzzle.
