Hi Strands fans. A pleasingly taxing puzzle this morning. It's not that the theme was especially cryptic, but some of the answers were neatly hidden, making it an enjoyable challenge.
From the moment I read "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" I assumed it was about postal deliveries, and so it proved to be. I quickly spotted PACKAGE spelled out downwards along the right-hand side, and BILL immediately underneath it.
The next one took me a while, as I was obsessed with trying to make 'envelope' near the top (you can get as far as 'envel', but no further). I was further delayed when I thought the stray 'Z' in the bottom left corner might be to do with 'zipcodes'.
But then I realized it was MAGAZINE and normal service was resumed. This created a clear path to spell POSTCARD backwards and I followed that up by grabbing LETTER, snaked around itself in the top right-hand corner.
It was only then that I got the spangram. I'd already tried connectinng MAIL, but then realized it was only half of the word. I added SNAIL to the front to make SNAILMAIL and connect the two sides of the board.
The last one took me a while. For some reason, I couldn't decode the anagram 'TIIEVN'... but I got there in the end: INVITE!
