Strands #265

“Did you hear that?”

🟡🔵🔵🔵

🔵🔵🔵🔵

A nice and easy one today, if you get the spangram at the start as I did.

I saw the word "sound" spelt from left to right and began experimenting with how it might end. It was, of course, SOUNDEFFECTS, which set me up for a puzzle that wouldn't cause too many problems.

Starting with the two 'Z's, I found SIZZLE just above the spangram on the right-hand side of the board, and then got BANG in the bottom right. Its regular partner - CRASH - was above it in the top right, and that just left CRUNCH to complete the top half.

The bottom section was equally easy to fill in. I got JINGLE on the left below the spangram, followed by HONK to its right. That just left KAPOW to finish the puzzle in a rather good time.
