Strands #203

“I've got you under my skin”

🟡🔵🔵🔵

🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. A nice easy one today. Going by the very literal interpretation of words that Strands typically uses for its themes, what else could "I've got you under my skin" mean, except body parts?

So when I saw the word "organs", I duly followed it backwards to complete the spangram of INTERNALORGANS. And from there it was just a case of listing things found within the torso and head.

HEART was the most obvious of these, and I found it twisted around the spangram. LIVER was directly below it, and KIDNEYS was to its right to complete the bottom half of the grid.

Moving to the top section, I found STOMACH spelt out from left to right directly above the spangram, and BRAIN tucked away in the top-left. To its right, LUNGS was spelt backwards right in the corner to complete the puzzle.
