Completed NYT Strands board for July 17, 2024: Park place.

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

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is PLAYGROUND.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: BENCHES, SLIDE, SWINGS, SANDBOX, CLIMBER, SEESAW.

I see SANDBOX along the upper right.

I can see SEESAW already, so this is the only thing that makes sense for that space.

I havent heard that name for playground equipment, but it makes sense.

SEESAW completes the right side of the puzzle.

SWINGS is in the bottom left.

SLIDE is above that.

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.
