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.

Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today, even if my own London BACKYARD is nowhere near big enough for any of these things.
I saw the spangram of BACKYARD right away, splitting the board in two across the middle of the board.
I then saw TREEHOUSE along the top, which neatly isolated SANDBOX to its right. SWING was on the left to complete the upper section.
Three answers were left to find in the bottom half. POOL was in the bottom-left corner, with FORT above it. That just left TRAMPOLINE on its right to complete the puzzle.
