“Practically paleolithic”
🔵🟡🔵🔵
🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. A nice and straightforward one today, with the theme of "Practically paleolithic" leaving little to the imagination.
I found ANCIENT at the top of the board first, and I could see the word "that" spelt out to its left. I've been playing Strands long enough to know that many of the game's spangrams are phrases starting with "that" and duly extended it to spell out THATSOLDNEWS.
With the board split in two, I found ARCHAIC in the top-right corner, and BYGONE in the middle to complete the half.
Two words remained to find in the bottom section. PRIMEVAL was on the left, which just left TIMEWORN on its right to complete the puzzle.

Strands #933
“Day and night shift”
💡🔵🟡🔵
🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. I struggled a bit today, initially thinking that the theme of "Day and night shift" referred to nocturnal and diurnal animals, as I could see the words "tiger", "lion" and "hare" on the grid.
This wasn't the case, but all of these wrong answers helped me unlock a clue. It revealed SWITCH in the bottom-left corner, which gave me the basic shape of the spangram. It was FALLEQUINOX written down the left-hand side.
I then saw the word "change" in the middle of the board. When that failed, I extended it to spell CHANGEOVER.
Only two words were left to find, and that made both of them long. PROGRESSION was written backwards up the right-hand side, and that just left TRANSITION to its left to complete the puzzle.
