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 DIACRITICS.
What are the theme words in todays Strands?
The theme words today are: UMLAUT, TILDE, ACUTE, CIRCUMFLEX, GRAVE, CEDILLA.
Perhaps well see words related to wedding ceremonies.
The word MAID is non-thematic.
Im not seeing any other wedding words.
Maybe its more related to the word pronounce, like pronouncing words.
Im finding a bunch of non-theme words, but nothing has stuck yet.
Lets try a hint.
ACUTE is highlighted in the bottom left corner.
Well, that doesnt help me at all.
ACUTE could refer to a small angle, or something short and sharp, like an ACUTE pain.
I need another hint!
Oh, I see the spangram now because of the space formed by the two previous words: DIACRITICS.
So were looking for signs or symbols that go above or below letters, aka “diacritic marks.”
These symbols alter the way a word is pronounced, and ACUTE and GRAVE are examples of them.
Time to look at Wikipedia for a list of diacritics, because I’m out of my depth here.
Theres CEDILLA in the bottom right.
UMLAUT is in the upper left.
TILDE is along the left edge.
That was an unusually hard one.
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.
