Completed NYT Strands board for June 18, 2024: It’s right under your nose!

What is the spangram in todays Strands?

Todays spangram is MUSTACHE.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: HORSESHOE, HANDLEBAR, PENCIL, TOOTHBRUSH, WALRUS.

I see TOOTHBRUSH in the bottom left corner.

Maybe its objects associated with the mouth?

Next, I see MUSTACHEwait, thats the spangram?

Below that is WALRUS.

I am still confused.

Oh, these are all types of mustaches.

Yep, theres HANDLEBAR.

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.
