hi chain. This was fun! The theme of "they're good people" was puzzling enough to give the brain a little exercise, without getting frustrated.

LINK, OF COURSE, IS A COMMON NAME THAT ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A VIRTUE- OR VIRTUENAMES AS STRANDS PUT IT. This was not immediately clear when I found justice meandering around the lower left corner, but I struggled for a while afterwards. I wondered if it had anything to do with the justice system and spent a while looking for things like "courts", "judges" and "jurors."

But it clicked that justice can also be a person's name (though not common in the UK where I am). From there, I was away and immediately looking for hope just above it.

Then I looked at the "virtues" starting from the left side and realized that it was part of spangram:VIRTUENAMES. It also blocked faith in the lower right corner.

I had three left to discover, all on the top half of the board. Grace was just above faith, leaving only two to untie me. Felicity was the first to fall, left with prudence just to connect, right over grace.
