and the spangram was FORMULAONE.Strands #378“Drive to survive”🔵🔵🟡🔵🔵🔵🔵Hi Strands fans. Sometimes, the Strands theme clue is hidden in plain sight.
Today was one of those days. "Drive to survive" was clearly going to be about cars in some capacity, and it was just a case of figuring out how exactly.When RACE in the bottom-right corner turned out to be an answer, there wasn't much risk of me needing any help.
Sure enough, I found PITS to its left and then got the spangram of FORMULAONE to divide the board in two.I know very little about Formula One racing, but I know enough associated words to get by. I found QUALIFYING spelt backwards in a spiral from the middle of the spangram, and then PODIUM underneath it.
That just left two words to find at the top of the grid. Having found SPRINT in the top right, I just had to convert the anagram of ACCRTIEP into PRACTICE to complete the puzzle.Yesterday's Strands answersReading this in a later time zone?
