Its theme was “That’s a stretch!” Start with a gentle hint below; the spangram and complete answer key follow in separate spoiler sections.
Need a hint for Strands #149?
Read “stretch” as a physical activity clue. Look for familiar names from a practice built around flexibility and balance. The shared category is more specific than exercise in general.
What is the spangram?
YOGAPOSES is the spangram. It identifies the category: yoga poses. The archived solution reports that it starts on the right side of the grid and ends on the left, so scan in either direction for the connected letters.

How to use hints while solving
Strands lets you trace connected letters in any direction, without reusing or crossing letters. If you are stuck, finding three non-theme words of at least four letters earns a hint that reveals a theme word. Use the revealed pose name to narrow the remaining searches.
