Completed NYT Strands board for January 7, 2024: Front women.

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is LADIES.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: LIBERTY, BUNNY, MARMALADE, FINGER, SLIPPER, BIRD, GAGA.

Maybe women leaders in general?

RAID, FILE, FLING, DRIP, and DREAM are all non-theme words.

But LIBERTY, in the upper right corner, is a theme word!

OK, so maybe thats a reference to Lady Liberty?

BUNNY is to the left of that.

That cant be a reference toLady Bunny, can it?

BIRD is in the bottom right.

(Lady Bird Johnson?)

Theres the spangram: LADIES.

All right, I guess it is all lady names.

MARMALADE is in the upper left.

GAGA is above BIRD.

FINGER starts in the bottom left corner and trails up the side.

(Pink Ladys SLIPPER is apparently a kind of orchid?)

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.
