Completed NYT Strands board for June 12, 2024: BY THE DOZEN.

Todays spangram is DOUGHNUTS.

What are the theme words in todays Strands?

The theme words today are: CIDER, HOLE, FROSTED, JELLY, GLAZED, CAKE, POWDERED.

After clicking around somewhat randomly, I find the word HOLE.

Next to that is CIDER.

(I still dont understand the theme yet.)

In the bottom left, I see GLAZED.

OK, I understand nowits all types of donuts.

And theres the spangram: DOUGHNUTS.

Below that is CAKE.

Below that is POWDERED.

Above the spangram is JELLY.

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.
