The Solution and Spangram
The standout feature of today's puzzle is the remarkably long spangram. Spanning 16 letters, the spangram is THEOLDSWITCHEROO. Notably, it accomplished a rare layout feat by beginning and ending on the same side of the game board. This particular puzzle proved to be more demanding than usual, featuring obscure non-game words and a challenging, spiraling path for the word BACKPEDAL.
While finding smaller words like "switch" was straightforward, uncovering the full spangram required careful observation until the very end of the session.
