Strands #240

“You and me”

🔵🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. Nothing too taxing about today's puzzle. The theme of "You and me" appears to be describing couples and other close relationships and that's exactly what I found right away, when I spotted PARTNER spelt backwards up the left-hand wall.

Turning to the opposite side, I found FRIEND in the bottom corner, and BESTIE immediately above it. COMPANION was snaking around the top left corner, and I then spotted SIDEKICK spelt from the bottom upwards next to FRIEND.

Only the spangram was left, which is just as well as I doubt I'd have known where to go after the 'R' if there were any other answers left to muddle things. As it was, I followed the gaps to spell TOGETHERNESS and complete the puzzle.
