Completed NYT Strands board for November 2, 2024: Good on paper.

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is OFFICESUPPLIES.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: STAPLER, PRINTER, SCISSORS, PENCILS, RULER.

What are some things that are literally good on paper?

Ah, theres the word SCISSORS in the bottom left, and its a hit.

Look at that, PENCILS is immediately to the right.

RULER is above that.

I see the word CLIP and CLIPS, but theyre not theme words.

I can almost make ERASER, but Im just getting ERASURE, which isnt quite the same.

Oh, I see the word SUPPLIES, which is definitely part of the spangram.

PRINTER is in the upper right corner.

There it is: OFFICESUPPLIES.

Thats a twisty-turny 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.
