Spangram
The pangram for today's puzzle is CHASING RAINBOWS. A pangram is a sentence that contains every letter of the alphabet at least once. Today's pangram fittingly evokes the visual of pursuing the full spectrum of colors represented by a rainbow, which ties directly to the theme and includes all of the answer words as these are colors commonly associated with rainbows.
Theme: Hue Are My Sunshine
The theme of today's puzzle, "Hue Are My Sunshine", plays on words that are homophones: "hue" (a color or shade) and "you" from the classic song "You Are My Sunshine". It further evokes feelings of happiness and warmth through the association with sunlight. Each of the answer words is related to the concept of hue, as they are all spectral colors that are constituents of sunlight when it disperses to form a rainbow. The colors blue, green, violet, yellow, indigo, and orange are the visible wavelengths of light that are separated when sunlight passes through rain droplets in the atmosphere, creating the natural phenomenon of a rainbow. This set of words, therefore, connects directly to the theme by representing various hues visible in a beam of sunshine that has been split into a spectrum of colors.
