“Natural remedies”
🔵🔵🔵💡
🔵🟡🔵
Hi Strands fans. Other than drawing a blank halfway through, today's puzzle was pretty straightforward.
I found ELDERBERRY in the top-right corner, followed by HONEY down at the bottom, and LEMON in the bottom right.
Then I drew a blank, requiring a clue that revealed GARLIC on the left-hand side.
This was immensely helpful, as I'd already seen the word "immune" but couldn't see a way to land it as the spangram. The shape of GARLIC on the left pointed the direction, and I zigzagged my way to connect IMMUNEBOOSTERS from top to bottom.
That left one answer to find. I connected TURMERIC on the right-hand side to complete the puzzle.

“Out of line”
🔵🔵🔵🔵
🔵🟡🔵
Hi Strands fans. I'm sort of surprised that I managed to get through today's puzzle without using any clues, as I had no idea what "Out of line" could refer to when I began.
But then I found ASKEW in the top-left corner, and everything fell into place. I found CROOKED underneath it , and LOPSIDED below that.
I then found UNEVEN to ASKEW's right, expecting this to be part of the spangram. It wasn't, and that meant it isolated TILTED in the top-right corner.
I now had a clear path for the aforementioned spangram, and started connecting letters. It was, of course, ALITTLEOFF.
That just left ASLANT to connect on the right-hand side to complete the puzzle.
