The answers to today’s Strands, game #152, are…
[ul]
[li]ABOVE[/li][li]THROUGH[/li][li]BESIDE[/li][li]UNDERNEATH[/li][li]BETWEEN[/li][li]AMONG[/li][li]SPANGRAM: LOCATION[/li][/ul]

[li]My rating: Moderate[/li][li]My score: 1 hint[/li][/ul]
It took me ages to get started with today’s Strands, to the extent that I needed a hint to get going. The theme of ‘Here, there and everywhere’ suggested only ‘The Beatles’ to me, which was obviously wrong (though I did check), so it was only when the game gave me ABOVE that it became clear what I was looking for. After that it was easy: there are only so many LOCATION-based words, and I was able to find them all in a couple of minutes.
