Completed NYT Strands board for August 25, 2024: Into the woods.

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is FOREST.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: CHESTNUT, SYCAMORE, BEECH, GINKGO, MAPLE, WILLOW, PINE.

It also could be more straightforward, and involve outdoorsy stuff, like tent, boots, etc.

It could also be types of wood, like birch and maple.

I see TENT in the upper left, but its a non-theme word.

Theres PINE in the bottom right, and its a hit.

I guess we have our answer.

Theres MAPLE in the bottom half.

WILLOW sits between the two previous words.

GINKGO sits in the bottom left corner.

And theres the spangram, lining the tops of all the previous words: FOREST.

I like that its shape mimics the ups and downs of a treeline.

BEECH is in the upper right.

CHESTNUT is in the upper left.

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.
