Hi Strands fans. This was difficult, until it wasn’t. After a time spent fruitlessly looking for types of teeth, I reluctantly used a clue only for the word HAMSTER to be revealed.
As the proud childhood owner of a hamster some 30 years ago and with still-fresh memories of its incessant gnawing, I’m surprised I didn’t get it, but there we are.
After that, the floodgates opened. I spotted MUSKRAT to its left, and the spangram of RODENTS above it, before completing the bottom half of the board with SQUIRREL.
There were two slightly more obscure answers hidden in the top half, but when I found CHINCHILLA to the right, the final word was pretty easy to find. I connected PORCUPINE to complete the puzzle.
