and the spangram was ENTOMOLOGY.Strands #396“Get the bug”🟡🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵Hi Strands fans. Today's theme - "Get the bug" - is about as transparent as it gets.
The only issue was remembering how to spell ENTOMOLOGY, which I pretty immediately spotted as the spangram.So, insects then. I found DOODLE in the bottom-right corner, and realized this was specifically going to be about insects with the word 'bug' at the end.
This made things trickier, especially with the lingual difficulties I occasionally have with American terms, from my desk in London.Still, I gamely muddled through. ASSASSIN wasn't a species I'd heard of, but the word was right there under the spangram.
That just left POTATO in the bottom-left corner to complete the half.Moving onto the top half, I found STINK in the top-right corner and LADY to its left. That just left LIGHTNING - another species I hadn't heard of - to complete the puzzle.
