“Good bones”

Hi Strands fans, and Happy Halloween! I'm always a fan of when the New York Times mixes up the colorscheme for its puzzles, and today we even get different emoji for the right answers and spangrams.
(I didn't use a clue, but redid it in an incognito window, and can reveal the clue icon for today is 🕯️).
"Good bones" made me immediately think of... bones. And sure enough, I found FEMUR spelt from the left edge of the board to the middle. Immediately below it was the spangram of SKELETON.
So now it was just a case of remembering human anatomy. I found SKULL in the top-left corner, followed by ULNA to its right. STERNUM completed the half.
Moving onto the bottom section, I found FIBULA spelt backwards and up in the middle. That left two answers to find either side: HUMERUS on the right, and RADIUS on the left. A lovely puzzle!

Hi Strands fans. Although I managed to get through today's puzzle without using a clue, it was a close-run thing. I only found the first answer - CHOICE - after connecting "choirs" as a clue word.
That revealed what the puzzle was about, though, and I quickly got both ELECTIVE in the top-left corner, and the spangram of YOUDECIDE to split the board in two.
That isolated the answer of DRUTHERS in the bottom-left corner, which is just as well as it's a word I've never heard used before!
Two words were left to find on the right-hand side, and it didn't take me long to find them. OPTION was in the bottom-right corner, with ALTERNATIVE above it to complete the puzzle.
