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

Completed NYT Strands board for November 9, 2024: Generation jam.

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is NINETIESBANDS.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: OASIS, TOOL, PAVEMENT, SUBLIME, BLUR, NIRVANA.

Having said that, I cant find those words on the board!

Oh, theres the word SUBLIME in the upper right corner.

Is that referring to the ska band?

NIRVANA, another band, is in the bottom right.

OASIS is in the upper left.

TOOL is below that.

Oh, there it is: NINETIESBANDS.

PAVEMENT (a band Ive never heard of, sorry) completes the left half of the puzzle.

Lastly, BLURanother Ive never heard of.

I was more of a pop fan in those days.

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.
