A nice and simple thing today. The theme was immediately clear and I found myself connecting clue after clue like a puzzle wizard, which, as anyone who reads my Wordle column knows, I'm definitely not.

I immediately saw SPONGE in the top left corner, then my attention turned to "Z" as a particularly unusual letter for the grid. In fact, I was able to form RAZOR around it. SHAMPOO quickly followed, then I noticed the word SHOWER written underneath, which unexpectedly turned out to be today's Spangram.

WASHCLOTH was a little trickier as some people would probably stop after "H", but I figured it would take a little longer considering how many letters were left. However, the SOAP was short and to the point.

There were only 11 letters left, so I put on my anagram hat (figuratively, I guess) and got to work. It didn't take me long to realize that the mysterious word was CONDITIONER.
