“A bit peckish?”

🔵🟡🔵🔵

🔵🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. Another straightforward one, once you get that the theme of "A bit peckish?" refers to avian rather than human hunger.

I was somewhat lucky in that I found BUGS in the bottom-right corner while looking for clue words for the list above. As humans (mostly!) don't eat bugs, I realized that the word "peckish" was very intentional, and that this was about birds. I duly connected the spangram of FORTHEBIRDS.

So what else do birds eat? SEEDS in the top-right corner was an obvious one, as was FRUIT on the left-hand side.

After this, I was struggling a little, but was able to find SUET above BUGS on the right-hand side. That left NECTAR above it to complete the half.

I then discovered MILLET on the left-hand side, and that just left BERRIES below it to complete the puzzle.

“Just write”

🔵🟡🔵🔵

🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. Today's theme of "Just write" is a lovely compliment to yesterday's puzzle of "Just right".

That doesn't make it an especially taxing puzzle, of course. With a theme like that, this was always going to be about the written word, and I found MISSIVE in the top-right corner straight away.

I then saw CORRESPONDENCE below it in a loop which turned out to be the spangram. This gave me two easy answers, with TEXT isolated in the middle of it and EMAIL cordoned off in the top-left corner.

Three more answers were left to find in the bottom half of the grid. I found MEMO spelt backwards in the bottom-right corner, with LETTER immediately above it. That just left POSTCARD to its left to complete the puzzle.
