“Making a difference”
💡🔵🔵🔵
🔵🔵🟡🔵
Hi Strands fans. An annoying one today, as after looking around fruitlessly for any answer, I used a clue which revealed GIVE on the left-hand side.
Why was that annoying? Because I'd already connected "given" looking for clue words.
Still, it was enough to get me started, and I duly linked up ENDOW in the top right and DONATE in the bottom-right corner.
I then found GRANT on the left-hand side, with BESTOW snaking up the right wall. These combined to give me a clear view of the end of the spangram: PHILANTHROPY, spelt from the top of the grid to the bottom.
That just left me unpicking the anagram of BIURTTENOC in the top-left corner. It was, of course, CONTRIBUTE.

“Fresh from the market”
🔵🔵🔵🟡

Hi Strands fans. Today's puzzle was pretty straightforward, especially with that helpful 'Z' on the bottom row.
I began working on it immediately, and quickly connected ZUCCHINI, proving that today's Strands ("Fresh from the market") was about fruit and vegetable produce.
I quickly connected PEPPER to its left and TOMATO above that. This left a neat gap between the two for the spangram of SUMMERHARVEST.
Three answers were left to find in the top half. CORN was at the top in the middle, with CARROT and MELON to its right to complete the puzzle.
