Hi Strands fans. This one is punishingly tough if you live outside of the United States, as I do.
Fortunately (after optimistically connecting "roblox" which Strands doesn't even recognise as a word), I saw the word "city" and was able to expand it to the spangram of CITYNAME.
But that's where my luck ran out. Because I realized this was about American cities, and not just the super-famous ones that those on my side of the Atlantic would be familiar with. Two clues revealed BEND and MOBILE.
Still, that was enough for me to muddle through with a mix of cities I had heard of, and educated guesses based on the letters available.
PHOENIX and BOULDER - both in the top half of the board - fell into the former category, as did BUFFALO in the bottom right. The last one, RIVERSIDE, was a case of unscrambling my remaining letters, but I got through without any more clues, at least!
