The answers to today's Strands, game #140, are CLAYMORE SCIMITAR CUTLASS 
RAPIER KATANA MACHETE SPANGRAM: BLADES My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

On reading the theme clue here I was excited for a complex Strands puzzle 
that required out-of-the-box thinking. What could 'S-words? (a cutting-edge 
theme!)' mean? Did all of the answers begin with S but the S was missing? 
Were they all words where a synonym for them began with S? Something even 
more fiendish? But no, they were all just types of swords. Shame. 

That became obvious as soon as I found CLAYMORE, off the back of spotting 
CLAY and then realizing that I could extend it. After that it was a simple 
case of searching my brain, and the board, for other BLADES (as the spangram 
would have it), which was not a particularly taxing task.
