“On the sly ...”
🔵🔵🔵🔵
💡🟡🔵
Hi Strands fans. Today's puzzle was simple enough, until it wasn't and I needed to use a clue to separate the spangram from the final answer.
I found COVERT in the bottom-right corner, straight away, and could see the end of the spangram ("round") to its left.
As I couldn't see how to land it yet, I kept looking for similar words instead. I found STEALTHY above the aforementioned spangram ending, with FURTIVE in the top-right corner.
I then noticed SHIFTY on the opposite side, leaving two answers including the spangram.
But for the life of me, I couldn't see a way to finish that spangram, so used a clue that revealed DEVIOUS.
So as not to give the game the satisfaction, I connected the remaining letters into the spangram of SNEAKINGAROUND before linking together DEVIOUS to complete the puzzle.

“Things fall apart”

Hi Strands fans. A nice easy one today, especially if you spot BREAK in the top-right corner as soon as you start. That, combined with the theme of "Things fall apart" told me everything I needed to know.
I spotted DISSOLVE at the bottom of the board, and the unusual shape told me the spangram would either start or end to its right. Sure enough, after following the isolated letters backwards, I connected BEYONDREPAIR to split the board in two, with FRAGMENT in the space left over in the bottom section.
Two words were left to find at the top. COLLAPSE was in the middle, leaving me with CRUMBLE to its left to complete the puzzle.
