Strands #303

“Resolutions”

????????????????

????????????????

Hello Strands fans. A New Year’s puzzle for New Year’s Eve. Although the theme of “Resolutions” made me think of that generally overly optimistic wish list of self-improvement for the New Year, rather than its other meaning to conclude something.

After struggling to find anything to do with diet and exercise, I used a clue that revealed CODA, which put me on the right track. After logging this in, I quickly found CONCUSION spelled diagonally downward from the top left corner, followed by FINALE to its right.

The EPILOGUE appropriately concluded the top half, before turning my attention to the bottom half. Here I found END diagonally in the middle. This left a perfect space for ITSOVER’s spangram, which just left CONCLUSION at the bottom left to complete the puzzle.

Happy New Year, Strands fans. See you in 2025.
