“Spiraling definitions”

Hi Strands fans. Not a fan of today's puzzle myself, but mainly because it made me feel pretty stupid.
I had to use no fewer than three clues to figure it out, as the theme of "Spiraling definitions" gave me nothing to work with.
It didn't help that the three words that the clues revealed - DANCE, SPRAIN and SURPRISE - seemed to have nothing in common at all.
It was only when I connected HAIRSTYLE in the top-left corner that it finally hit me. All of these are definitions of 'twist".
I duly connected the spangram of WHATATWIST from top to bottom of the board, and connected the final definition in the bottom-right corner to limp over the line. It was, of course, DISTORTION.

“All in a day's work”

Hi Strands fans. I was a little slow to get started today, but once I found my first word, it was pretty easy going.
That first word was PROJECT in the bottom-right corner. With the word "job" to its left, I followed it backwards for the spangram of PARTOFTHEJOB to split the board in two.
Starting with the right-hand side, I found CHORE above PROJECT, with two words in the top corner: DUTY and TASK.
Moving onto the left-hand side, I found ASSIGNMENT in the bottom-left corner, which just left ERRAND above it to complete the puzzle.
