Hi Strands fans. It's been a little while since I completed a Strands puzzle without using clues, but I'm pleased to report I was back on form today.
I'd argue that the theme of "All aboard!" didn't leave much room for confusion, however, especially when I saw PASSENGERTRAIN written across the middle of the board straight away.
With the spangram safely bagged, it was time to rack my brains for train-related things. I found SLEEPER in the bottom-right corner to start with COACH just above the end of the spangram following.
QUIET was in the top-left corner, with DINING written backwards between it and COACH. That just left OBSERVATION in the bottom-left corner to complete the puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. It took me a little while to cotton on to what today's puzzle was about. Two clues later, I realized that, as per usual, the theme was actually very literal.
Those two clues were ACME and APEX, both terms for the top of something. With that established, I connected PEAK at the bottom of the board, and was able to get the spangram of UPPERLIMIT which was, appropriately enough, at the very top of the grid.
Now it was just a case of finding the four other synonyms for being at the top of something. I found SUMMIT just below the spangram, followed by HEIGHT spelt backwards to the bottom-left corner.
PINNACLE was on the opposite side, which just left ZENITH above it to complete the puzzle.
