Hi Strands fans. Today's is a really tricky one, especially if you're outside of the U.S. like me. Some of the terminology involved is definitely American English.
I actually got off to a decent start, as I saw the word "board" along the bottom, and was then able to expand it to the spangram of ALLABOARD. So I immediately knew it was about trains, which helped me find HOPPER above it on the left-hand side.
I was stumped after that, however, and needed to use two clues to continue. These revealed two words I should have got: ENGINE and BOXCAR along the top of the board.
I then found CABOOSE on the right, which I had no idea was anything to do with trains, and FLATBED above it. That just left GONDOLA - another word I wouldn't associate with trains - to complete a tricky little puzzle.
