Strands Puzzle Answers for Today

Revealing Theme Words

These answers are intrinsically linked to the puzzle’s central theme. The puzzle’s aim is to uncover all thematic words, including the spangram – a theme word spanning the grid from one edge to the opposite. Upon successfully locating all words (initially presumed to be consistently eight, but the count can fluctuate), every letter within the grid will be utilized. The non-spangram solutions are:

  • MESH, VIBE, AGREE, CLICK, RELATE, CONNECT, HARMONIZE

Identifying Today’s Spangram

Solution and Location

Today’s Strands spangram is GETALONG. To locate it, commence at the letter G, positioned five rows down in the leftmost column, and trace a winding, upward and circular path.
