Hello Strands fans Not knowing “Goodnight Moon”, today's puzzle was always going to be a burden for me In the end, I was forced to solve it by trial and error of possible words

First to fall was MUSH, which didn't help much Then I spelled MITTENS backwards from the left

Next I found SOCKS in the lower right, then KITTENS above it, thinking that since it rhymed with MITTENS, it must also rhyme with SOCKS, and sure enough, I found CLOCKS in the lower left

This left me with one answer and finding spangram Thankfully, the two were nearly separated, and for the latter I was able to run through GOODNIGHTMOON from left to right

Now all I had to do to complete the puzzle was find the NOBODY in the lower right corner Hopefully tomorrow I will be more familiar with this topic, because guessing possible words on a subject I know nothing about is no fun!
