Looking for Sunday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:

Today’s Strands is kind of tricky, though it depends on your interests I suppose. As someone not very familiar with what the theme ended up being, I was a bit lost and confused with some of these—even once I realized what it was. In in case, it’s the last day of September! Let’s solve the last Strands of September!

Strands is the newest game in the New York Times’ stable of puzzle games. It’s a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we’re given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day’s theme.

Spoilers ahead.

Today’s Strands Breakdown

This was tricky! Definitely the most challenging Strands puzzle I’ve done since taking over these guides this weekend. I am not very familiar with boxing, so BANTAM and WELTER aren’t really on my radar, though once I found FEATHER (after already nabbing HEAVY and LIGHT) I was pretty sure it was boxing weight classes, which led me to the spangram.
