Todays spangram is CRACKERS.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: ANIMAL, GOLDFISH, SALTINE, SODA, WATER, RICE, OYSTER.

(Except for thoseNature Valley bars, but thats not likely to be a theme word.)

Ah ha, theres SALTINE in the upper right corner.

A very crumby food, indeed.

Theres the spangram from left to right: CRACKERS.

SODA is below the spangram, and thats surprisingly a hit.

I dont really see how that fits the thememaybe soda bread?

Oh, soda crackers, duh.

GOLDFISH lines the top of the spangram.

ANIMAL (referring to animal crackers) is in the upper left corner.

RICE splits the bottom half of the puzzle in half.

WATER is in the bottom left.

Lastly, OYSTER, my personal favorite.

Man, now Im hungry.
