This is probably my favorite Strands puzzle of the week. It's just the right amount of challenge, it all makes logical sense, it's exactly what this game should be, but isn't always. The theme clue suggested seats, but I found CHAIR and SEAT and neither changed color. The problem, obviously, was that I didn't take the full image in any of the cases: they were actually SEATS (the spangram) and ARMCHAIR.
Other than that, it was just a matter of me racking my brain looking for things I could sit on and then finding them on the board. It took me about 15 minutes total, which again is exactly how it should be.
