This is a Strands, a type of puzzle most associated with the daily NYT strands.

The objective is to form words using paths through the letters, and eventually to use each letter once. There is one Spangram that touches opposite sides of the grid, and usually describes the round theme.

Theme: Countries of the world with primarily red or green flags, (redness or greenness is relevant to the meta) but wrapping around the "globe". Wraps always travel straight across the grid.

Spangram: COUNTRYFLAGS

Words:

PAKISTAN (green)
VIETNAM (red)
DENMARK (red)
CHINA (red)
MONACO (red)
PERU (red)
