“Formulate it”

🔵🔵🔵🔵

Hello Strands fans. I realized pretty quickly that this was about the phonetic spelling of letters, and the word “alphabet” immediately caught my eye. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the official name for it, so I didn’t understand Spangram for a while.

Still, the “X” led me straight to FOXTROT, so I knew I was on the right track, and then it was just a matter of trying other words in the series until I could completely dig out the Spangram. With this in mind, I found DELTA and GOLF on the right, which gave me a good starting position.

BRAVO is another word that I associate with the topic, and I found that in the top left. This freed up enough space to complete the spangram – NATO ALPHABET. Naturally!

Luckily I didn’t have to recite all 26 words in the code and only had to find three in the grid. TANGO nestled in the top left corner, VICTOR slanted down to the right. That left only ECHO in the top right corner to solve the puzzle.
