“Split superlatives”

Hi Strands fans. I really lucked out with this one.
I saw the spangram of YOURETHE right away, but didn't think that could be the complete answer, so stopped dragging my mouse over it when I couldn't see a way to end it. But to my surprise, it turned yellow, and I was away.
BEST made sense in the bottom-right corner, and then I saw VERY above it. Got it: each superlative is made of two parts, that's simple enough.
GOLD was alongside VERY, so I looked for STANDARD, which I duly found next to BEST.
I was then stumped, and had to use a clue. It revealed BEES, which of course goes with KNEES.
Four letters were left in the top half, so after a little trial and error, I connected CATS. That obviously connected with PAJAMAS below it to complete the puzzle.

“For better or wurst”

Hi Strands fans. With a title like "For better or wurst", this was always going to be about sausages in some capacity. Thinking it to be of the German variety, I immediately saw SAUERKRAUT in the bottom-left corner.
But not being super confident I could spell it correctly, I went for another condiment to make sure, finding KETCHUP in the middle. With that confirmed, I moved back to the corner to capture the aforementioned cabbagey topping.
I then went hunting for MUSTARD, which I found in the top-left corner, before looking for more exotic toppings. CHEESE was in the bottom-right corner, which gave me enough space to get the spangram of TOPDOGS spelt backwards from right to left.
Two answers were left to find at the top of the board. RELISH was in the top-right corner, with ONION to its left to complete the puzzle.
