I’m not a hat person, but thankfully that didn’t cause me any problems today. Unlike some recent Strands puzzles, which required a certain amount of specialist knowledge, ‘hats’ as a theme is much more approachable, yes? Maybe we gain that knowledge as children, or – who knows – maybe we’re all born knowing the names of lots of hats. Maybe there’s a pointer towards the meaning of life here, and hats are somehow woven into the fabric of reality. Maybe.

Whatever the answer, I found this one to be straightforward. Although technically speaking the theme isn’t ‘hats’, it’s ‘headwear’, and the answers include TURBAN and BONNET, for instance. I found those two a little tougher to identify than the rest, but most of them were pretty simple to uncover, particularly the spangram, which runs nicely from left to right in the middle of the board.
