What is the spangram in todays Strands?
Todays spangram is COOKING.
What are the theme words in todays Strands?
The theme words today are: BRAISE, FLAMBE, DEGLAZE, STEAM, BLANCH, SIMMER, POACH.
Not sure, though.
I see LAMB and BEET, but neither are theme wordsI didnt really expect them to be.
Lets try a hint.
It highlights a few letters in the bottom right corner, which I recognize as POACH.
Oh, OK, so Im probably searching for cookingmethods.
Theres BLANCH (I was spelling RANCH) in the bottom left corner.
Yep, there it is.
SIMMER completes the bottom half of the puzzle.
I see FLAMBE on the left side.
BRAISE sits along the top.
Strands is newer and still in beta, so its not yet in the NYT Games app.
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.
