The theme is about candy. These clue words can help you earn the game’s in-grid hints without giving away the complete answer list:

The spangram has 10 letters. It runs from the bottom edge of the grid at the third column to the top edge at the fourth column.
How the in-game hints work
In Strands, the board is a 6×8 grid. The spangram expresses the theme and connects opposite edges. According to an independent rules explainer, finding three valid non-theme words of at least four letters earns one hint; using it highlights the letters of an unsolved theme answer.
