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!
