and the spangram was CONSTELLATIONSStrands #418“It's in the stars”🟡🔵🔵🔵💡🔵💡🔵🔵Hi Strands fans. Even though I got the spangram right away, today's puzzle was an uphill struggle. Although the theme of "It's in the stars" pointed me to CONSTELLATIONS right away, I quickly realized that I could only recite a small handful of them.
I found DIPPER (known as The Plough to those of us in the UK) at the bottom of the grid quickly enough, and CROSS to its right. I then spotted HUNTER spelt backwards in the top-right corner and nabbed that too.But after that, I was stumped, so had to use a clue.
It revealed SWAN in the top right, which eliminated few enough letters that I felt compelled to go again. This time, I got MAIDEN to its left, which made things quite a bit easier.All that was left to do was to unpick the anagram of CETNARU.
CENTAUR! Of course - I did know that one after all...
