Hi Strands fans. Today's puzzle is a favorite type of the NYT team: one where you have words that go together. I cottoned onto this right away, as I saw the spangram of TOGETHER spelt across the middle of the grid from left to right.

That didn't necessarily make it straightforward though, as I found RHYTHM in the top left, and couldn't see "dance" or "music" so went off looking for other words. I then found WATER in the bottom left, but again failed to find "fire" or "earth" so kept looking for other starters.

It was only upon uncovering CRAFTS in the bottom right that I found the first obvious pairing: ARTS was next to RHYTHM in the top left. That got me thinking again about its natural pairing and I found BLUES in the middle of the grid.

That cleared enough space to spell CEREAL in the middle, which led me to MILK in the top right. With that, I realized that the four remaining letters went with WATER. It was, of course, SOAP.
