The answers to today's Strands, game #230, are ZING KICK SPARK PIZZAZZ FIZZ 
OOMPH VERVE SPANGRAM: EXTRASOMETHING My rating: Moderate My score: 1 hint 

Look at all those Zs! Seven of them in total, including four in PIZZAZZ 
alone. These did help me to get started, though, because Z doesn't go with 
many other letters (vowels, basically), which made it easier to find ZING. 
Plus ZZ is an obvious combination and it was fairly easy to also find FIZZ 
and the aforementioned PIZZAZZ. I stumbled upon KICK and SPARK by accident 
and by that point had so much of the board uncovered that it felt like 
completing it would be a simple task. 

But no. I stalled at that stage and needed a hint to unlock OOMPH. That did 
the trick, and when I finally spotted the spangram, EXTRASOMETHING, victory 
was only a guess away.
