Strands #396

Get the bug

Hi Strands fans.

Today’s theme - “Get the bug” - is about as transparent as it gets.

Wordle Words: A genius word…

The only issue was remembering how to spell ENTOMOLOGY, which I pretty immediately spotted as the spangram.

ASSASSIN wasn’t a species I’d heard of, but the word was right there under the spangram.

That just left POTATO in the bottom-left corner to complete the half.
