Hi Strands fans. A slightly confusing one today. Even with all the answers on the board, I’m still not sure if this is supposed to be about mistakes or literal falls.
In any case, I managed to get through it without using any clues, thanks to finding SLIP in the lower half of the board while hunting clue words. I then saw “whoops” and when that failed to register, I expanded it to spell WHOOPSIEDAISY for the spangram.
The gap down the left-hand side of it contained ‘B’ and ‘L’, and I was able to expand that to spell BLUNDER for my third answer. STUMBLE was to its right, and then FALTER in the corner to complete the top half of the board.
I then found SPILL in the bottom-right corner, which just left TOPPLE to its left to complete the puzzle.
