Found dozens of false positives, could not work out which of several possible themes. Gave up, got a hint, done in 1 minute or less.

An American spelling made this really tricky for me. I never even knew y'all had changed that word...
@lproven @stephenjjohnson @bencurthoys
I’m not happy with that - there were technically two spangrams, and the first one I got was one of them.
