“Bring it home”
💡🔵🟡🔵
🔵🔵🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. An annoying one this. I'll cheerfully admit I didn't have the faintest idea of what "Bring it home" might be about when I finally decided to use a clue. Unfortunately, the clue it gave me was SHIRT, and I'd already connected the word "shirts" for my list of clue words.
But that's on me for not making the link. From there, I saw the spangram of SOUVENIRS spelt across the middle of the board, and I was away.
I then found JEWELRY in the top-right corner, followed by POSTCARD on the opposite side completing the top half of the board.
Moving to the bottom section, I found SPOON in the bottom-right corner, followed by KEYCHAIN spelt backwards to its left. That just means I needed to spell MAGNET backwards in the middle of the grid to complete the puzzle.

“Who's in charge?”
🔵🔵🟡🔵
🔵🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. A very literal theme today with "Who's in charge?". It didn't take me long to work out that this was a puzzle about leadership roles, and I quickly found MANAGER in the top-left corner, followed by HEAD below it.
I then found the spangram of LEADERSHIP to their right, spelt from the top of the board to the bottom.
I couldn't immediately decode the one remaining answer on the left-hand side, so switched to the right where answers came thick and fast. I found SUPERVISOR spelt backwards in the bottom corner, followed by BOSS immediately above it. CHIEF completed the half.
I was now back to the remaining letters on the left-hand side. A little playing with them teased out the one remaining answer: DIRECTOR.
