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.

That cordoned off two words in the top-left segment: GRAVITY and ARRIVAL. From those, it was clear we were talking specifically about sci-fi movies.I then saw DUNE on the right-hand side, followed by ALIEN below it.

That just left MEGALOPOLIS on the left-hand side to complete the puzzle.Yesterday's Strands answersReading this in a later time zone? You can find the full article on yesterday's Strands answers for game #400 right here..
