BEWARE: Spoilers follow for todays Strands puzzle!

Completed NYT Strands board for January 6, 2024: In neutral.

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

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is OFFWHITES.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: EGGSHELL, CREAM, VANILLA, LINEN, IVORY, CHAMPAGNE.

I thought todays puzzle might be car themed (like drive, reverse, neutral, etc.)

but that doesnt seem to be working.

Oh, theres CREAM in the top row, and its a hit.

Ah, so its probably neutral colors.

That means it was EGGSHELL, not just SHELL.

VANILLA is in the upper right corner.

CHAMPAGNE is in the bottom right corner.

And theres the spangram, from left to right.

LINEN tracks along the bottom of the spangram.

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.
