Strands #315
“Wait what?”

Hi Strands fans. This is the kind of fun puzzle that has you hunting for synonyms - in this case, words for being shocked.
I didn't know this right away, and had to use a clue, which revealed STUN on the right-hand side. That, combined with the theme of "Wait, what?" made it click for me, and I quickly found GOBSMACK directly below it.
SURPRISE in the bottom left followed, and that left a nice clear path for the end of the spangram, which I traced backwards to read MINDBLOWN.
That neatly cordoned off the two remaining answers into separate sections, which made it nice and easy. FLABBERGAST was in the top left, while ASTONISH was directly opposite it.
