The answers to today's Strands, game #140, are CLAYMORE SCIMITAR CUTLASS RAPIER KATANA MACHETE SPANGRAM: BLADES My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

On reading the theme clue here I was excited for a complex Strands puzzle
that required out-of-the-box thinking. What could 'S-words? (a cutting-edge theme!)' mean? Did all of the answers begin with S but the S was missing?
Were they all words where a synonym for them began with S? Something even
more fiendish? But no, they were all just types of swords. Shame.

That became obvious as soon as I found CLAYMORE, off the back of spotting
CLAY and then realizing that I could extend it. After that it was a simple case of searching my brain, and the board, for other BLADES (as the spangram would have it), which was not a particularly taxing task.

The answers to today's Strands, game #147, are JOURNAL TRIBUNE CHRONICAL
TIMES GLOBE HERALD SPANGRAM: NEWSPAPER My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I'd have been a bit annoyed at myself if I'd have got this one wrong after all, I've worked at several newspapers during my career. The hardest thing today, as it often is, was working out what the theme was, but once that was in place it was a piece of cake.

I found the spangram first, after giving a little thought to what the theme
of 'daily delivery' could make. I looked for the likes of LETTERS and
PARCELS, then MILK, then spotted NEWS and thought aha! NEWSPAPER was easy after that, and then the likes of JOURNAL and HERALD fell into place with a minimum of fuss.
