Here's another easy Strands puzzle to start your day off right. And frankly, it's been a while since we've done a really hard one.
Today's theme is WESTERN, according to the spangram, a concept that was heavily hinted at in the “Boots and Saddles” theme track and confirmed the moment I discovered COWBOY. After that, it was simply a matter of searching through those letters like a gold digger… None were too difficult to find, and I completed this one in about five minutes.
