WEDGE STILETTO CHUNKY CUBAN BLOCK CONE KITTEN

The Strands theme today was honestly a bit vague, and had me thinking about cars at first. After not finding Bentley and Porsche in the grids, I knew that was a wrong trajectory altogether. Even after accidentally finding WEDGE didn’t help. However, when I found STILETTO and CHUNKY to solve the rightmost portion of the puzzle, I realized I was looking for heels here.
And, well, HIGHHEELS turned out to be the Spangram for the day. After that though, I thought I’d be in trouble because that’s the most I know about heels. But, who needs knowledge when you’ve got luck? I had tons of it today and CUBAN at the bottom left turned out to be a theme word. Right above it, I found BLOCK, CONE and KITTEN in quick succession, and that was game over for me today.
