"Sorority sign"

hi chain. A nice and easy one for you today. Even though I went to a British university, I knew enough about the US system of fraternity and sorority from the movies - so that I could be particularly confused when I immediately saw Sigma in the lower left corner.

It put me in the scent of Greek letters and it didn't take me long to start racking them up. The delta was just above it, and there was beta on it.

Then I moved to the right side of the board to spell kappa and went back to the left and back to Nab Gamma. Epsilon was comfortably the longest answer in the mix, and I saw it coiled to the bottom right too.

It just spangled and left one final answer. I could see that the end of spangram is TTERS, so I thought it should be a "letter". I WORKED BACKWARDS AND COMPLETED IT AS GREEKLETTERS.

It just left the alpha to find, and it wasn't even in anagram form, it was neatly spelled from left to right in the upper right corner.

Nice and easy, but today it's a dull touch. I hope to bring a little more noodle wounds tomorrow.
