Hello Strands fans! This is aimed squarely at US players, but it's not too difficult on the other side of the Atlantic. Bed, Bath & Beyond is similar to Danelm and John Lewis in England. [When I noticed that BLANKET was just below it and PILLOWCASE above it, I was sure of something.

Then I found SHEET in the upper right corner and made a spangram path from top to bottom. It had to start or end with LIN/NIL, so I went along it to spell LINENCLOSET.

This left only one word to solve: TABLECLOTH filled the lower right corner nicely.
