Hi Strands fans. I've got to hand it to the puzzle setters at the New York Times: today's theme hides the meaning in plain sight beautifully.
After trying to find things related to playing cards and then Tarot decks, I eventually had to use a clue which revealed BABY.
"Baby"? Huh?
Fortunately, it cleared enough space down the side for me to get the second answer, WEDDING, and with that, BIRTHDAY above it.
Finally the penny dropped: this was about cards for special occasions. I duly spelt out GREETINGS from top to bottom for the spangram.
Three answers were hidden on the left-hand side, and they weren't too hard to find now I understood the theme. CONGRATULATIONS was in the top-left corner, and I got SYMPATHY at the opposite end. That just left LOVE between the two to complete the puzzle.
