Howdy Strands fans. A nice and easy one today, after yesterday's tricky puzzle.
"Part of the equation" will quickly get you thinking about MATHEMATICS, which just so happens to be the spangram, starting in the first letter slot in the top left-hand corner.
That immediately cordoned off the word CALCULATE in the top-right corner, leaving just four more answers on the board.
None of them were especially taxing. I spotted MULTIPLY in the bottom right-hand corner next, followed by its opposite number DIVIDE starting just above it.
SUBTRACT emerged just to its left, which left the only one I wouldn't have got from a round of free association: DERIVE.
