Everyone loves big cats, right? Well, apart from the prey they hunt, probably. And I imagine everyone will love this rather easy Strands puzzle, too. My only complaint is that it’s possibly too easy, because once you establish what the theme is (itself not difficult) it’s really very simple to find the various answers. After all, they’re all well known, plus the spangram stands out immediately by running across the board from left to right.
