Today's NYT Strands puzzle brings an extremely common vegetable-themed challenge. Once a few words appear, the overall theme becomes much easier to identify. Unlike the other theme words, the Spangram stretches across the grid, connecting two opposite sides. It can change direction as it winds through adjacent letters, making it one of the puzzle's defining features.
Today's NYT Strands is ‘Fresh from the market.’ Once you look at the theme, you’re already sure that it is talking about fruits or vegetables that we generally purchase from the market and always look for the fresh ones. So, the non-spangram words of today are associated with some of the most common vegetables and fruits we eat.
Most of the words are easy to identify, although a few may be slightly trickier depending on familiarity with the world of veggies and fruits. The solution offers complete satisfaction since the theme remains unchanged from the start to the conclusion.

First word: A four-letter word starting with CO
Second word: A five-letter word starting with ME
Third word: A six-letter word starting with TO
