Were about to give away the answers to todays Strands puzzle.
What is the spangram in todays Strands?
Todays spangram is CROSSWORD.
What are the theme words in todays Strands?
The theme words today are: CRANKY, VEXED, SURLY, PEEVED, GRUMPY, IRKED, TOUCHY.
LEER is not a theme word.
I see an EXC in the center of the puzzle, so thats probably part of a word.
I found my first theme word: SURLY, across the top row.
OK, so maybe its words referring to anger or dissatisfaction.
Yep, CRANKY is in the upper left corner.
All right, so Ill look for words like grouchy or angry or annoyed.
GRUMPY is in the bottom left corner.
TOUCHY is in the bottom right corner.
PEEVED is below SURLY.
It took me a while, but I found the next one: VEXED.
Oh, I see the spangram now: CROSSWORD.
(Get it, like cross (aka angry) words?)
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.
