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

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is WONDERLAND.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: HATTER, RABBIT, CATERPILLAR, CROQUET, DORMOUSE.

is fromAlice in Wonderland, so I assume well be looking for items and characters from that story.

I see the word ALICE cutting across the center, but it doesnt seem to connect to anything yet.

CATERPILLAR is along the left edge of the puzzle, though.

That eliminated the letters I was using to spell ALICE, so Ill keep looking.

Ah, theres WONDERLAND down the center, and its the spangram.

RABBIT is to the left of the spangram.

HATTER is in the upper left corner.

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.
