As is often the case with Strands, the key today was determining what the theme was, because once you had it, the answers were pretty obvious. The “I’ve got you under my skin” theme clue was a good one – cryptic, but not to the point where you had no idea what kind of thing you might be looking for. I found BRAIN by accident, and that was enough to make it clear what the other solutions would be. Finding KIDNEYS and LIVER was easy enough, and once the spangram was in place, there was very little room for failure.
