Note
A one-syllable adjective takes the suffix rather than a helper word. Because strange already ends in -e, only -st is added, so the form is strangest, not strangeest; longer adjectives would need most instead. Most strange remains grammatical. The superlative suits the gradable senses, odd and unfamiliar, so one case or exhibit can be the strangest. The physicist's sense names a quantum property, a kind rather than a degree.
