Thread #270

“Thank God!”

Hello Strand’s fans. No doubt this one will be extremely easy for those celebrating Thanksgiving. Unfortunately for me, sitting here without a turkey in London, I had to use two clues to get me going – and subsequently kicked myself.

If the first clue had been TURKEY I would have been tipped, but YAMS just left me confused. It wasn’t until the second track revealed GRAVY that I remembered what day it is. Happy Thanksgiving, American readers.

At least it got easier as a result. I duly found TURKEY in the upper right corner, followed by ROLLS in the lower right. POTATOES completed the top half and I then found cranberries in the lower left.

That created a single path to spell out the spangram loud and clear: LETSFEAST. Enjoy your holiday, American readers!
