“Don't obsess”

Hi Strands fans. A bit annoyed I needed a clue here, despite seeing the spangram straight away.
When I read the theme was "Don't obsess", LETITGO seemed like the likeliest spangram. Sure enough it was written across the middle of the board.
I quickly connected DISENGAGE along the bottom of the grid, and RELEASE in the top-left corner.
But then I was struggling for synonyms, so I used a clue. It revealed FREE immediately below the spangram, which was a word I should have got. The other word in the bottom half - UNLOOSE - I would not have got in a million years, however.
Two more words were left to find in the top half. DETACH was in the middle of the section, with LIBERATE to its right to complete the puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. The biggest challenge of today's puzzle was working out what exactly the partial spangram of "water" connected to. I only figured it out two answers before the end.
Fortunately, I spotted lots of other water-related things to get me started. DOCK was below the word "water", with BARGE in the top right and SHIP to its left.
BRIDGE was in the top-left corner to give me more of the spangram's shape, and I was then able to connect it with a little trial and error. It was, of course, ONTHEWATERFRONT.
That left two answers to find in the bottom half. PIER was on the left, which meant I just had to connect LIGHTHOUSE to its right to complete the puzzle.
