What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is ENTOMOLOGY.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: LIGHTNING, LADY, STINK, ASSASSIN, POTATO, DOODLE.

I see DOODLE in the bottom right corner.

I guess that makes the word doodlebug, which is a jot down of actual bug.

POTATO is in the bottom left.

OK, so its all words that go with bug.

ASSASSIN cuts across the middle.

(Those look scary.)

STINK is in the upper right corner.

LADY is to the left of STINK.
