“At your fingertips”

Hello Strands fans! Today's puzzle went by so fast, partly because I'm playing it on my desktop computer before writing it up In other words, I have a keyboard at my fingertips, although you may not know this as you play on your smart phone

The KEYBOARD spangram is in the middle of the board I immediately saw SHIFT on the right side and CONTROL, which divides the top half into two halves That division allowed me to bring DELETE above it and ENTER to its right to complete the upper segment

Three words remained in the bottom segment ESCAPE was below the grid and SPACE was just below it This left only RETURN as the puzzle
