Strands #241

“How sweet!”

🔵🔵🔵🟡

🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. A pretty simple one today. Although "How sweet!" could be talking about cuteness, it seemed very likely to be about sweet treats from the get-go, and that was more or less confirmed immediately when I saw the word "candy" spelt out from the top of the board to the middle.

I wasn't ready to figure out how that spangram finished just yet, but I knew the kinds of thing I was looking for and managed to get TOFFEE in the top right, followed by CHOCOLATE directly below it.

Underneath that was GUMDROP, which gave me enough wiggle room to return to the spangram conundrum. With less room to manoeuvre, it was easier and I quickly established the overriding answer to be CANDYSTORE.

Two answers were left to find on the untouched side of the board. I found LICORICE curled around itself in the top-left corner, which left just LOLLIPOP to connect underneath it to complete the puzzle.
