“Words with weight”

Hello Strands fans. A difficult old puzzle: The topic (“words with weight”) doesn’t immediately scream boxing to me. And even if it was, it turns out I don't know that many boxing weight classes, which led to a frustrating game of trial and error.

It started off quite well, I immediately spotted HEAVY and LIGHT on the top of the board. But after unsuccessfully searching for synonyms (“weighty,” “strong,” “bulky,” etc.), I had to admit defeat and give a hint. It revealed BANTAM and I realized it was all about boxing weight classes.

The problem is that I don't know many of them. I managed to get FEATHER and MIDDLE, which cleared the way for BOXING's spangram, but then I was stumped and reluctantly had to use a second clue.

This revealed CRUISER – a weight class I had never heard of. I just had to decipher the anagram of TELERW to solve the puzzle, and after some back and forth I realized it was WELTER. No, I haven't heard anything about that either.

As always with Strands, if you don't know the topic, it won't be a fun puzzle! Hopefully I'll be back in my wheelhouse tomorrow…
