Were about to give away the answers to todays Strands puzzle.

Completed NYT Strands board for August 26, 2024: See you on the court.

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is GRANDSLAM.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: LOVE, SMASH, RACKET, FOREHAND, SERVE, VOLLEY, SLICE.

I findVOLLEYin the bottom right corner, and its a hit.

Looks like tennis terms, today!

SERVE is to the left of VOLLEY.

LOVEis in the upper left.

TEAMS is a non-theme word.

I dont see any way to spell tennis, so it looks like the spangram will be something else.

Theres the spangram: GRANDSLAM.

FOREHAND completes the bottom half of the puzzle.

RACKET is in the upper right.

Your job is to find the hidden words within the board that reflect the puzzles theme.

When you find the spangram, it will be highlighted in yellow.

Solving the spangram usually makes the rest of the puzzle much easier to complete.

There is only one correct solution.
