The answers to today's Strands, game #329, are NICKEL IRON COBALT CADMIUM 
ALUMINUM TITANIUM SPANGRAM: PURE METAL My rating: Easy My score: 1 hint 

It was pretty obvious from the theme clue what we were looking for today and, 
of course, my biggest fear was that I would have to spell out ALUMINIUM  or 
rather, ALUMINUM as those of you in the United States would have it. A few 
very obvious  and much easier to find and spell  PURE METALs were left out of 
the puzzle, including Gold, Copper, Zinc and Silver. 

As I was completing the game my mind wandered to the heavy metal genre, and 
the thought that it was named that after IRON Maiden  iron being a 
particularly heavy metal. But actually, Google tells me it comes from the 
song Born to Be Wild by the '70s band Steppenwolf, which includes the phrase 
heavy metal thunder. So today I learned two things  that, plus how to spell 
ALUMINUM.
