Hi Strands fans. Boy, this was a tough one. Indeed, after struggling to find things related to fitness, I had to use three clues - and with JUMP, CIVIL and STRONG on the board, I still couldn't see a connection.
It was only when I connected BIRTHDAY near the middle of the board that I finally figured it out. Of course! JUMP, CIVIL, STRONG and BIRTHDAY can all have the word "suit" after them.
With that in mind, I quickly found the spangram: WELLSUITED. And that left two words left to find, thankfully both isolated on opposite corners of the board. I got LEISURE in the top right first, and that just left BUSINESS in the opposite corner to complete the puzzle.
Undoubtedly a smart puzzle, but one that was a bit too cunning for me to get right away. Fun though!
