and the spangram was HANNUKAHFOODS. Strands #301 “Festival of Lights delights” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵 Hi Strands fans. Even though I knew the Festival of Lights refers to Hannukah, I had to really wrack my brains to think of the foods associated with it, so I was quite pleased to get through without using any clues.
After finding "hannukah" on its own wasn't the spangram, I set off lookin for answers. CHALLAH was the first one that sprung to mind, and I found it in the bottom-right corner. This was followed by LATKES on the opposite side and BRISKET between the two.
This cleared up enough space to reveal that the spangram likely ended "oods" and given this was clearly about Hannukah, I connected the two to spell HANNUKAHFOODS. That left two answers to find on the top half of the grid. I saw APPLESAUCE in the top right first, and that just left the anagram of UGKEL to unpick to complete the puzzle.
