Need another hint?
The spangram names the broader category that connects the six theme words. It has nine letters and runs from the bottom of the board to the top. TechRadar’s guide reports that it starts in the fourth column at the bottom and finishes in the second column at the top; that is a guide-reported orientation, not an independently verified board transcription.

Parade’s guide describes the game mechanics as follows: theme words fill the board, and the spangram describes the theme while touching opposite sides of the grid. Finding non-theme words can earn hints. The guide says theme words turn blue when found and the spangram turns yellow. TechRadar’s guide also reports the spangram’s board orientation for this puzzle.
