“Hard not to notice”

Hi Strands fans. The double 'Z' in the bottom-right corner gave the game away for me today. I was able to connect JAZZY and with the theme of "Hard not to notice", it was pretty clear what this puzzle was about.
I quickly connected BRIGHT and VIVID above it up the right-hand side, and could see "ching" to the left of my three answers. I correctly guessed this was the end of the spangram and followed it backwards to spell out EYECATCHING.
That isolated one more answer in the right-hand section (FLASHY), leaving two answers to find on the left side.
I connected VIBRANT in a reverse 'L' shape on the right, which just left STRIKING next to it to complete the puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. I was completely lost today, but managed to muddle through it without clues.
That's because I accidentally connected BOLT in the top-left corner, while looking for clue words. I then connected the spangram of HARDWARE, and I was away.
Even with my first two answers on the board, progress was initially pretty slow. Eventually, I connected SCREW in the bottom-left corner, with ANCHOR and BRACKET to its right to complete the half.
The top section had four short words to locate. JOIST was at the very top, with HINGE written backwards up the right-hand side.
That just left two four-letter words to pick out from the eight remaining characters. NAIL was on the left, with KNOB on the right to complete the puzzle.
