Unlike yesterday’s Strands game, today’s was easy to solve as the theme became clear once I found one answer. That word was CABLE, and together with the “On the grid” hint, that was enough to get me started. After that it was just a matter of looking for solutions; ELECTRICAL, WATER, TELEPHONE etc. I suspect many others will consider this a simple problem too…
