What are the theme words in todays Strands?
The theme words today are: GARNET, TOPAZ, EMERALD, AMETHYST, RUBY, SAPPHIRE.
I see TONE, but thats a non-theme word.
Hmm, Im seeing a lot of non-theme words.
I have enough for a hint, but I have a go at avoid using those.
I still dont see anything!
All right, fine, lets use a hint.
I use the letters it highlights to form RUBY in the upper left corner.
Oh, maybe its types of gemstones?
Yep, that z in the bottom row is the end of TOPAZ.
To the left of that is GARNET.
EMERALD fits in the bottom right.
And the letters of the spangram form a diamond shape.
AMETHYST is in the center of the spangram.
And SAPPHIRE completes the puzzle.
That was a tough one for me.
I like that theyre getting more creative with the Strands boards lately.
