Were about to give away the answers to todays Strands puzzle.
What is the spangram in todays Strands?
Todays spangram is PORTMANTEAUX.
What are the theme words in todays Strands?
The theme words today are: ZORSE, SMOG, ANKLET, ATHLEISURE, SPORK, BRUNCH.
SORE and ZERO are non-theme words.
BRUNCH, in the bottom right, is a hit.
Oh, because its two words mixed together: breakfast and lunch.
So crossed words refers to two words that have been combined.
And another word for that is a portmanteau, which leads me to the spangram: PORTMANTEAUX.
(I guess thats the plural form?)
SMOG (smoke and fog) is along the left edge.
ANKLET (ankle and bracelet) is in the bottom left corner.
SPORK (spoon and fork) is above BRUNCH.
ATHLEISURE (athletic and leisure) is in the upper right corner.
I was convinced the puzzle was broken.
Its ZORSE, which is apparently a zebra-horse hybrid?
Your job is to find the hidden words within the board that reflect the puzzles theme.
