“Home work helpers”

Hello Strands fans. Today's puzzle isn't too tricky once you get the gist of it. As a freelancer myself, I immediately assumed the theme - "Home work helpers" referred to working from home - something I've been doing since long before Covid made it necessary.
But where I got a bit lost was assuming it was things to aid home work, so I spent a bit of time looking for "coffee" and "cakes" (which is actually in there!) before I got onto the actual topic: computer peripherals.
When I spotted MOUSE in the top-right corner, I was away. KEYBOARD followed in the bottom right, and the gap between the two created the perfect spot for spangram hunting. Sure enough, DESKTOP was spelt across the middle of the board from left to right.
There were two more to find in the bottom half: WEBCAM and SPEAKERS. With those out of the way, I turned to the top half where two more were hiding. MONITOR was pretty easy to spot in the middle, and that left the one thing I'd consider optional in a modern PC setup: a PRINTER.
Nothing too taxing today, then, but enjoyable all the same.
