Okay, so it was easy to guess that today’s Spangram was SHAKEN, thanks to the hint. But it took me a couple of minutes to find it. Then, I started my search for today’s answers, which didn’t go so well, unfortunately. I first found the word SALT at the bottom right and HANDS at the bottom left. Then, I connected a bunch of letters to make HAIRSPRAY at the top right.

After that, I found myself stuck and had to use a hint, which gave me a word I didn’t expect to be an answer today – BOOTY. Next, I found MARTINI at the bottom and was stuck again. It was a difficult one for me today. I used another hint, which I’m not proud of, to get the word MARACA. Finally, the last few letters helped me make the word RATTLE and complete today’s puzzle.
