SPIDER MILLIPEDE BEETLE TERMITE EARWIG SPANGRAM: CREEPYCRAWLIES My rating: Easy My score: Perfect This is a bit of a strange Strands game, in that the spangram is very long and only leaves room for five other answers.

It's not necessarily an unsatisfying one (for me at least, because I love bugs), but I do wish it had been slightly harder. Once I spotted SPIDER the theme was obvious, and the spangram itself was easy too. Its position on the board left little room for doubt about what most of the other solutions were, and I was done in about five minutes max.
