Were about to give away the answers to todays Strands puzzle.

Todays spangram is MARINELIFE.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: CLAM, WHALE, SQUID, LOBSTER, CORAL, OCTOPUS, SHARK.

Looks like we need to search for things found in the ocean.

Yep, theres WHALE right below that.

Theres OCTOPUS in the lower left corner.

In the space between WHALE and OCTOPUS, I see the start of the spangram: MARINELIFE.

In the bottom right corner, I see SHARK.

Next, I see CORAL.

The QUI letter combo confuses me for a moment, but then I see its part of SQUID.
