.and the spangram was PIERCING. Strands #197 “What a stud!” 🟡🔵🔵🔵 🔵🔵🔵🔵 Hi Strands fans.
A nice and simple one today. Once I established this wasn't about horses, I spotted the spangram of PIERCING spelt across the board from left to right and the rest was a doddle. It quickly became a list of body parts, in fact, and I knocked them off consecutively rather than jumping around the grid.
That included just three at the top: EYEBROW, NOSE and EARLOBE. The bottom half was a little trickier, with four answers twisted around each other. SEPTUM started in the middle of the spangram, and NAVEL was to its left.
TONGUE was underneath that, and that just left CHEEK to spell backwards in the bottom right-hand corner. Easy enough - even for a boring piercing-free man such as your author!
