Hi Strands fans. I'll level with you: I didn't have a clue what the theme of this puzzle meant at first.
But then I found the word "movies" at the bottom of the board. When it failed to connect, I realized it was part of the spangram. Following this backwards, I found the full answer was FOURLETTERMOVIES, and I was away.
I found HEAT in the bottom-left corner, with JAWS at the top. Between the two, I located CLUE and CARS to complete the side.
The right section was just as easy. MILK was in the top-right corner, with BABE at the other end. Between the two was HULK and DUNE to complete the puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. As long as you have a good knowledge of nursery rhymes, today's puzzle won't cause you too many problems.
In fact, the biggest issue I had was that "littlepiggy" wouldn't connect as the spangram (I was, of course, missing "this" at the start).
Still, I knew that this was about This Little Piggy, so I began to think of the words to the rhyme. I found MARKET and WENT in the top-left corner, before flipping to the bottom right, where I spotted BEEF, ROAST and NONE.
At this point, I'd cleared enough of the board to figure out that the spangram was THISLITTLEPIGGY.
That just left two words to find in the top-right corner. They were, of course, STAYED and HOME to complete the puzzle.
