Completed NYT Strands board for April 1, 2024: It’s a sign!.

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

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is SPRINGTIME.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: BLOSSOMS, ROBINS, POLLEN, BUDS, SHOWERS, PUDDLES.

), maybe bad omens, or maybe some sort of reference to actual signs (like billboards).

I see SHOWERS in the bottom left, and its a hit.

PUDDLES is in the upper right corner.

Still not sure how that connects.

I see the word SPRING in the bottom rightoh, its part of the spangram: SPRINGTIME.

Got it, so were looking for signs of spring.

I guess SHOWERS refers to the phrase April SHOWERS bring May flowers.

MOSS is in the upper left corner, but thats not a hit.

BUDS (flower BUDS, I assume) is above SHOWERS.

POLLEN is to the right of BUDS.

BROOMS (I was thinking of spring cleaning) is not a hit.

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.
