“Peer group”

Hi Strands fans. A fiddly one today, mainly because I thought the theme of "Peer groups" was going to be about peering in some way. Or maybe nautically themed if it was a pun on "pier".

It turned out to be neither, something which only became apparent after I used a clue. That clue revealed EARL in the bottom-right corner, and I was on my way.

I quickly found BARON in the bottom-left corner, and then VISCOUNT along the right-hand side. LADY followed above it, with LORD between EARL and VISCOUNT.

I then spotted DUCHESS in the top-left corner, which helped me to find MARQUESS immediately below it.

All that was left was to connect the straight line of letters in the middle for the spangram. It was, of course, NOBILITY.

“Track event”

Hi Strands fans. I would have struggled today with the theme of "Track event" were it not for my eyes being immediately drawn to the 'QU' in the top-left corner.

I figured out that this was QUEUE, and I then saw MUSIC in the top-right corner. My first thought was that this was going to be about music festivals, but then I saw the spangram of KARAOKE across the middle of the board and I was away.

SONG was isolated above the spangram, and I then found LYRICS on the right-hand side.

That left two long words to find. LOUDSPEAKER spread from the middle of the board to the bottom right-hand corner via the left-hand side, while MICROPHONE occupied the remaining space to complete the puzzle.
