Completed NYT Strands board for August 11, 2024: Home stretch?

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

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is BONUSSPACES.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: PATIO, VERANDA, BALCONY, DECK, TERRACE, SUNROOM.

Then again, there was a yoga poses puzzle not long ago, so perhaps not.

I see the words OVER and BEEP right away, but as expected, they are non-theme words.

REACT, TAPE, OVERDO, MOTE, PEAT, and PALE are all non-theme words, too.

OK, its hint time.

The hint highlights the word DECK.

Hmm, so its areas of the home?

Maybe my coffee just isnt hitting this morning, but I need another hint.

VERANDA is in the upper right corner.

BALCONY is below that.

That open trail of letters looks a lot like a spangram.

It takes me a moment, but I find it: BONUSSPACES.

I live in a studio apartment, so theres not a lot of bonus space.

Perhaps thats why todays was tricky for me.

(Thats what Ill tell myself, anyway.)

SUNROOM is in the bottom right.

That was an unexpectedly tough one.

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.
