Rare letters are always a good place to start a Strands search, but TUXEDO left me a little baffled as I associate it with shirts and the theme “quite the pair” didn’t seem to go with that.
The other rare letters on the board — a double-Z, no less — were the key to finally getting me going. Not that I am exotic enough to know anyone who owns a pair of them, but I now knew after getting PALAZZO that we were looking for types of pants; or, to be precise (as I soon discovered via the spangram), FANCYPANTS.
My fancy pant knowledge is not the best, so I opted for hints to get me the next couple of trousers and from here on in I was able to shimmy my way to a conclusion.
Can the world, I wonder, be divided between those who own and those who would never be seen dead in FANCYPANTS? Quite possibly.

After struggling to see yesterday’s blatantly obvious words I roared through today’s messy selection — all of which probably says a lot about my brain and/or my organizational skills.
I really love all of these words and personally I think they sum up the glorious VARIETY and reality of life, where nothing is in straight lines or ordered and everything comes at you in a MISHMASH.
I also really enjoyed how today’s words revealed themselves to me, with the spangram slowly becoming obvious after I solved the words surrounding it.
