Strands #147

“Daily delivery”

Hello Strands fans! This piece was fairly easy once I figured out what the theme “daily delivery” refers to.

Unfortunately, I went completely the wrong way and brainstormed daily deliveries of milk, letters, parcels, etc.

It was only when I came across JOURNAL in the upper left and TIMES in the lower right that I realized that these are both names of newspapers!

This resulted in getting a TRIBUNE, which opened up a neat path of NEWSPAPER spangrams from top to bottom along the middle.

With the board neatly split in two, I quickly found the two words hidden in the lower left: HERALD and GLOBE. All that remains is to solve the CHRONICLE in the upper right corner to complete the puzzle.
