What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is GAMECHANGERS.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: COMEBACK, UPSET, RALLY, THREEPEAT, ROUT, SWEEP.

Ah, the place where I found BACKUP is actually COMEBACK.

UPSET is to the right of COMEBACK.

OK, so its all words referring to underdogs winning.

RALLY is in the upper right.

THREEPEAT (a word referring to winning a championship or game three times) is in the bottom left.

ROUT is to the right of THREEPEAT.

Your job is to find the hidden words within the board that reflect the puzzles theme.
