Somewhat thoughtlessly I initially searched for fishing terms before the penny dropped and I realized that the “net” in question was the internet and specifically the words that occupy the time of those EXTREMELYONLINE.
While looking for a start I spotted “extremely” but failed to see anything beyond it, so thought I’d caught a long non-game word rather than the start of a very long spangram — the longest since February, when we also had a 16-letter spangram.
Despite the high number of four-letter words and the fact that I am “extremely online” myself, I found this round extremely difficult.

I had no idea what today’s theme was to begin with and assumed it was some pop culture reference that had passed me by — like a quote from Golden Girls or the punchline of a Tim Robinson sketch.
My first hint word of RAMP didn’t help much either, but after I took a second hint of MOREL I got it — this is all about FORAGING, I thought, as the spangram magically appeared before my eyes.
Foraging is one of those things that sounds brilliant — it’s natural, resourceful and free — but I just know that I would get it wrong and pick the wrong kind of CHESTNUT or mushroom and end up poisoning myself.
BLACKBERRY picking is the most common form of foraging (for one week a year) where I live, but I still managed to get that wrong and give myself stomach pain once.
