Hi Strands fans. A pretty easy one today, especially if you get the spangram right away, as I did.
SNACKTIME, spelt backwards from bottom to top, neatly splits the board in two, and makes finding the seven remaining answers really straightforward.
I tackled both sides of the grid systematically, working upwards from the bottom. On the right side, I found CHIPS, with FRUIT above it, CANDY above that and NUTS at the top.
The left only had three answers within, so I knew they were going to be longer answers. But I found CHEESE in the bottom left, followed by POPCORN to its right. That left just GRANOLA at the top to complete the puzzle in double-quick time.
