Hi Strands fans. What a devious theme! At first, I saw the word tap, and immediately tried out 'water', thinking it would be different kinds of taps. Little did I know at this point, that this was actually part of a longer word.
When that failed, my thoughts turned to mobile games, but after failing to spot a 'Y' for either 'Angry Birds' or 'Candy Crush', I realized I must be on the wrong track.
It was only when I spotted the word 'golf' that it hit me - MINIGOLF was the theme, and I duly got the spangram first.
After that, it was dead easy. I realized that 'water' was part of WATERFALL and spotted RAMP underneath it. Then I noticed WINDMILL underneath the spangram and polished off the top half with TUNNEL.
The last two weren't that tough either. I spelled BOULDER backwards from the bottom up, and then added CASTLE to complete the puzzle rather speedily (if you discount all the time I spent before the spangram...)
