This is a relatively mundane edition of Strands, but there’s nothing wrong with that. It all makes sense – which isn’t always the case! – and offers a reasonable challenge unless you get lucky with your first word. That’s because the theme hint, ‘”Oh, you!”‘, is rather cryptic; you may well need to use a hint to get going. I didn’t, because I found DROLL by accident when looking for hint words, and then spotted LAUGHABLE by design, based on what I thought the concept here might be. I was correct, and followed up with the likes of AMUSING and WITTY before getting the spangram. Business as usual, really.
