Hi Strands fans. I'm afraid I needed some help with today's challenge.
I've never seen Survivor, and the quote in the theme - "Fire represents your life" - meant absolutely nothing to me, so I had to look it up.
I felt bad about this, but I'm glad I did, as it was purely for U.S. audiences, on a topic that means zero to me. It's a quote from Jeff Probst, host of SURVIVOR which turned out to be the spangram.
Now I've never seen Survivor, but that at least gave me a fighting chance to find words that might be associated with it. I found CHALLENGE written backwards along the bottom of the grid, followed by JURY above the last few letters.
I was then able to find REWARD, and while the word MERGE isn't one I'd have any idea of, those were the only letters left on the bottom half, so I managed it via the process of elimination.
The top half was a blank canvas, however, and I had to finally use a clue. It revealed ALLIANCE, and from there I was eventually able to decode the remaining letters of MMIYUITN - it's an anagram of IMMUNITY.
Not an enjoyable puzzle for me, that one, but no doubt I've been able to lean on specialist knowledge in the past where others haven't. Hopefully tomorrow's will be easier for international audiences, though...
