This is a more traditional Strands puzzle than some of the recent examples: it's simply a collection of words that go together with an obvious theme. Once you find one and identify the concept, you'll almost certainly find it easy to solve. In my case, I saw SAUCER by accident and immediately realized what I needed.
The only slightly tricky part was the spangram, as PLACESETTING escaped me until relatively late.
