Hi Strands fans. I'm still a little confused by today's puzzle, even though I got through it without using any clues.
All of the answers relate to reactions to being shocked by something, but they're often quite contradictory, which made gathering them all a little tricky.
The 'X' on the second line led me straight to EXCLAIM to kick things off. I realized the two horizontal letters to the left were likely to be part of the spangram and duly connected THATSSHOCKING to split the board in two.
The 'Z' on the third line led me to FREEZE, with SHUDDER in the top-right corner to complete the section.
Moving onto the bottom half, I spotted START spelt backwards along the bottom row. I then saw GASP above it on the left-hand side, which just left RECOIL to its right to complete the puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. A pretty simple one today, aided by the fact that I saw the word UNDERCOVER right away. The spangram neatly split the board in two, and confirmed I was looking for spy-like synonyms.
I connected AGENT in the dip at the start of the spangram first, followed by PLANT in the top-right corner, and MOLE in the bottom right. I was then able t complete the top half with COUNTERSPY.
Two answers were left to find in the bottom section. ASSET was on the right, which just left OPERATIVE spelt backwards along the bottom of the board to complete the puzzle.
