Strands #426
“Say “ah””
💡🔵💡🔵
🔵🔵🟡🔵
Hi Strands fans. I must be having a bit of a slow day today, as I really struggled here. It didn’t help that the theme – “Say ‘ah'” is something I more associate with dentists than doctors, but that’s making excuses.
In any case, I had to use two clues to get started. They revealed TAPE on the right-hand side, which didn’t help much, and GAUZE below it in the bottom corner.
From there, I was able to establish this was about medical equipment, and I duly found SYRINGE in the top-right corner, followed by STETHOSCOPE on the opposite side.
That cleared enough space between them to complete the spangram of DOCTORSKIT spelt from top to bottom, and that just left THERMOMETER in the bottom left to complete the puzzle.
