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

Completed NYT Strands board for March 27, 2024: Playing the field.

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is NATIONALLEAGUE.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: BREWER, PIRATE, DODGER, MARLIN, BRAVE, GIANT.

That theory isnt working out too wellIm not seeing any field positions on the board.

Ah, theres PIRATE in the upper right corner.

Maybe its sport team mascots, then?

Pittsburgh PIRATEs, in this case.

OK, so maybe baseball teams, specifically.

BREWER is in the upper left half.

(Milwaukee BREWERs.)

GIANT is in the bottom right corner.

(San Francisco GIANTs.)

TIGER is surprisingly not a theme word.

BRAVE is in the bottom left corner.

(Atlanta BRAVEs.)

DODGER is in the dead center.

(Los Angeles DODGERs.)

I see the spangram now, forming a diamond shape reminiscent of a baseball field: NATIONALLEAGUE.

That leaves MARLIN in the center.

(Miami MARLINs.)

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.
