“There's nothing like it”
🔵🟡🔵🔵
🔵🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. A nice easy one here. What else can the theme of "There's nothing like it" mean except that something is unique?
With that in mind, I looked for the letter 'Q' and found it in the top-right corner to spell UNIQUE.
The spangram of ONEOFAKIND down the middle followed, which cordoned off the word EXCLUSIVE in the bottom-right corner.
Four answers were left to find on the other side of the board. I found SPECIAL in the bottom-left corner, with SOLE at the very top.
Two words were left in the middle. ONLY was at the bottom, with SINGULAR above it to complete the puzzle.

“Eyes on the prize”

Hi Strands fans. I wasn't sure what today's puzzle was about, until I connected GOAL on the right-hand side while looking for keywords.
That, combined with the theme of "Eyes on the prize", told me that this was about having aims, so I duly connected AMBITION above it, and then PLAN to its left.
I then saw the word "high" spelt backwards underneath it, and followed it backwards to spell the spangram of AIMHIGH. This also isolated PURPOSE to complete the section.
Two answers remained on the left-hand side. OBJECTIVE snaked around the top half, which just left INTENTION below it to complete the puzzle.
