Hello Strands fans! I had a really hard time with today's puzzle Partly because some of the terminology is quite American, but also because I am not a driver, so I don't have a glove box (called a “glove compartment” in the UK) or anything to put in there

In fact, the first correct answer, FLARE, was completely coincidental, as I was trying to collect possible words for the clue column above Therefore, I ended up using the clue ATLAS Only then did I realize that this was something to keep in the car, and it helped me understand the spangram of GLOVEBOX

Two words, QUARTER and TITLE, were isolated on the right side, but I was still at a loss after looking at the other half of the board, so I had to use the second clue

I surprised myself when this clue revealed the word MANUAL
