Another easy Strands puzzle, even if the thing it describes — being tidy — is something I struggle greatly with.
I like my house to be the opposite of my brain: disorganised, cluttered and the opposite of everything listed here.
I spotted ORDER first, then added the final letters to make ORDERLY. SHIPSHAPE jumped out next, and once I’d solved the spangram — handily located across the middle of the board — the others fell into place in a NEAT and TIDY fashion.
