- SPANGRAM: THAT'S FUN
- My rating: Moderate

This is a relatively mundane edition of Strands, but there's nothing wrong with that. It all makes sense, which isn't always the case! – and offers a reasonable challenge unless you get lucky with your first word. That's because the theme track, “Oh, You!”, is quite cryptic; You may need to use a hint to get started. I didn't, because I found DROLL by accident when searching for keywords, and then I discovered LAUGHTER by design, based on what I thought might be the concept here. I was right and I continued with songs like AMUSING and WITTY before receiving the spangram. In reality, everything remains the same.
