“All-knowing”

Hi Strands fans. A fun one today. The theme didn't give too much away, so I got my first answer on the board by honing in on the 'X' in the top-right corner.
After playing with it for a few seconds, I connected EXPERT. And when I saw "brain" below it, I extended it to connect the spangram of BIGBRAIN across the board from left to right. That, in turn, isolated PUNDIT in the top-left corner.
With the top section done, I moved on to the bottom half, finding SPECIALIST immediately underneath the spangram. I then found MAVEN on the right-hand side, with GURU underneath that.
That just left AUTHORITY in the bottom-left corner to complete an enjoyable little puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today, as long as you know your clothing.
I don't especially, but was still able to muddle through. I found GOWN on the right-hand side, with KIMONO below it.
I then spotted MUUMUU in the bottom-left corner, which isolated "itwell" between my answers. I followed it backwards to spell the spangram of YOUWEARITWELL.
That cornered off TUNIC in the top-right corner, leaving me two answers to find in the left segment.
DIRNDL was spelt in a line down the left-hand side, which just left PINAFORE to its right to complete the puzzle.
