“What goes around comes around”

Hi Strands fans. As soon as I saw the theme was "What goes around comes around", I assumed it would be about things that return, and this was duly confirmed when I found REBOUND in the top-left corner.

BOOMERANG was a somewhat predictable second entry starting below it, and I then found RETURN in the bottom-right corner.

While this clearly showed a spangram ending in "comeback", I couldn't see a way to start the phrase, so kept looking for other options, eventually finding BOUNCE in the top-right corner. That gave me enough to go on, and I connected NICECOMEBACK.

That just left the anagram of COHCREIT in the middle of the board to decode. It was, of course, RICOCHET.
