The spangram isn’t even a word!

Timepiece is an umbrella term for any device used to tell time, and the plural is 'timepieces'. It's used obliquely here, in the sense of 'pieces of time', but that is how puzzle makers work.

Sure it is! If I have a collection of watches and clocks, I have the spangram

Bit of a head scratcher! A little too specialist - I know nothing about the subject, hence the hints 😄

I found that easier than most this week!

am I the only one that didn’t know the spanagram goes from one side to the other? Clearly have not read the game instructions 😆😆

Had to Google other names in the subject matter today as am clueless about anything like that

Gave up in disgust, that was way too US specific.

A right pain today

Have found several words that aren't the ones it wants - gone for one hint and am still none the wiser . Looking at people's comments, I'm wondering if it's worth persevering .

As ever, it’s pretty easy once you twig what the theme is.
