Spotting a Q in a Strands puzzle is always a great headstart and after a QUICK opener the rest fell into place quite easily today.

The only real sticking point was the Spangram, which was made up of two words and which jarred a little thanks to the absence of an apostrophe in THATS GENIUS – not that this is possible in Strands, it’s just sad to see their disappearance from the world.

As an English teacher might put it: people only write “Thats” instead of “That’s” because they’re lazy. And that’s the truth.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.
