Hi Strands fans. A tough one to get started with here, or at least it was for me. The theme of "A breath of fresh air" didn't give me much to work with, despite the two 'Z's on the board, so I ended up using a clue.
That revealed GUST spelt backwards up the right-hand side, which made it clear this was about wind.
That immediately made me realize what the 'Z' on the top line was part of, and I duly connected BREEZE. This isolated WHIFF to its right, and I then found PUFF a little below it.
It took me a while to find the next one, but eventually I connected FLURRY near the bottom of the board. I could now see how the word "wind" (which I had spotted earlier) connected, as I spelled out the spangram of GENTLEWIND.
Two answers were left to find. CURRENT was spelt downwards in the second row, which just left ZEPHYR next to it to complete the puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. If you're not up on square numbers, today's puzzle could be a struggle. That said, as all the answers are spelled-out numbers, you can brute force your way through it if necessary.
I found FOUR in the top-left corner, with NINE to its right. That was enough for me to get the spangram of SQUARENUMBER, which occupied the two horizontal lines in the middle of the board.
TWENTYFIVE completed the top half, leaving two answers to find at the bottom. They were, of course, THIRTYSIX on the left, and EIGHTYONE on the right.
