Today's Strands Breakdown

This theme was quite straightforward overall. I initially found LIGHT, but it didn't lead me to the spangram. So, I dug deeper and discovered FLASHLIGHT instead. Then, I found TORCH. With the spangram, ILLUMINATION, in hand, the rest of the words fell into place quite quickly. It was a fun and engaging challenge.
