Completed NYT Strands board for March 4, 2024: It’s our game-iversary!

BEWARE: Spoilers follow for todays Strands puzzle!

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

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is STRANDS

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: RIBBON, TENDRIL, WISP, FILAMENT, STRING, CURL, THREAD.

Would they all be games from a particular year?

That seems oddly specific.

The first word I see is STRING along the bottom row, and its a hit, surprisingly.

SPLIT and TWIN are non-theme words.

RIBBON, along the left edge, is a hit.

OK, STRING and RIBBON are both long tying materials.

I see the word STRANDS across the center, and its the spangram.

Therefore, all the words in the puzzle are strands synonyms.

CURL is above STRING.

THREAD is to the right of CURL.

FILAMENT is along the right edge.

WISP is along the top row.

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.
