Not a fan of this one. Can't really see all the sound switches until the puzzle is solved.

Agreed that this is a PITA.

Its switching the first sounds in a pair of words: Nucking Futs - > Fucking Nuts.

I didnt think it was a very good hint tbh

I knew what a spoonerism is, and even found the spangram early, but I still don't see how the clue helps. It was basically just a word search for me today.

Oh yeah, it was a terrible hint. I was looking for spoonerisms, found nothing
