and the spangram was HYBRIDCREATURE.Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today.
"Out of this world" - to me at least - is only going to be about either astronomy or science fiction.The matter of which was settled immediately. I saw the spangram of SCIENCEFICTION spelt from the middle of the left-hand side, all the way up to the top-right corner.
