“In glove”

Hi Strands fans. Today’s theme of “In glove” is pretty literal, but could be interpreted in a number of ways. Thankfully, I spotted the word CUTICLE in the bottom-right corner straight away, and then it just became a tick list for parts of the hand.
NAIL to its left came next, and then MIDDLE backwards along the top row. RING was directly below it, and THUMB was in the top right, clearing the space for PINKY.
I had been on too much of a roll to pay attention to the spangram, but I couldn’t ignore it any longer with the top half finished. I saw the word “hand” directly below THUMB, and followed it backwards to spell ONHAND across the board.
Only two words were left to find. PALM was in the bottom left directly below the start of the spangram, and that just left the anagram of IPONRTE to decode. It didn’t take me too long to figure out that was POINTER to complete the puzzle.
