Still struggling? The spangram touches two opposite sides of the board (but can start and end anywhere), and will give you a hint about the connection between the answers. Today, it starts with 'L' and ends in 'D'.

“Hullabaloo”

Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today. What else can "Hullabaloo" refer to except general noisiness?

I found SHOUT in the top-left corner, followed by HOLLER below it. CATERWAUL, however, I found by accident while looking for clue words, as it's not a common one on my side of the Atlantic.

I then saw "loud" spelt backwards, which I assumed to be part of the spangram. I couldn't land it, but I was able to look at the unused letters around it and make a word with them instead: BELLOW.

I then found WHOOP on the right-hand side, which was enough for me to see the path of the aforementioned spangram. It was, of course, LETSGETLOUD.

All that was left was to connect CLAMOR in the remaining gap to complete the puzzle.

“Provinces of the pantheon”

Hi Strands fans. Somewhat surprised I got through this one without using a clue, as even now I can't give you a succinct definition of what the puzzle is about. Domains of Gods and Goddesses in mythology, broadly?

In any case, I found UNDERWORLD appropriately at the very bottom of the board, and began thinking along those lines. I found THUNDER in the top-left corner, with WISDOM to its right.

I then connected the spangram of DOMAIN across the board from left to right, which left HARVEST to connect in the gap above.

Two answers were left to find in the gap below the spangram. MARRIAGE was at the bottom, and that just left LOVE spelt backwards above it to complete the puzzle.
