Hi Strands fans. I do like it when the NYT puzzle setters make an answer in the shape of the word, and there's a doozie here with the spangram formed to resemble a boat.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. While the theme of "Ahoy!" was clearly nautical in nature, I still almost reached for a clue, until I saw the word VICTORY in the bottom-right corner.
That made me realize that today's puzzle was all about famous ships, and I was able to get TITANIC in the bottom left, followed by BEAGLE above it. I then found MAYFLOWER in the top left, followed by BOUNTY on the opposite side.
Despite only having the spangram left to find, I was a bit stumped here. I could see that the word "ships" was in the mix, but I couldn't see how to connect it to a longer word.
Eventually, I decided to take off the letters that make up "ships" and just focus on the rest as an anagram: TSIHORIC. That made it easier: it was, of course, HISTORICSHIPS.
