SPANGRAM: CREATUREFEATURE

My rating: Moderate

Moderate My score: Perfect

This was a tricky Strands puzzle. The words are all well known, but I wasn't entirely sure what it was I was looking for until a fair way into it, and it took me ages to find the spangram. That answer ? CREATUREFEATURE ? winds up and down the board using 15 letters, so getting it was fairly crucial to solving the puzzle. It's always crucial, of course, but on some days it doesn't have an immediate impact on the ease with which you find most of the other solutions, but here it was so long that you really needed it in order to rule out others. I was never comfortable today until I had it, and that was late on.
