How these Strands hints work

Every letter on the board belongs to a theme word, and one answer โ€” the spangram โ€” stretches from one side to the other. Our three hints move from the general theme to the idea behind the spangram, without printing any answer.

Strategy for today's board

Find three or four ordinary words first to earn a hint in the game itself, then look for long snaking paths through the middle of the board. The spangram usually touches both edges, so scanning the outer columns is a quick way to catch its first letters.
