Looking for Saturday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
A new day, a new month and a new Strands grid to solve. Yesterday’s puzzle was very clever and challenging and today’s is a bit easier, but still a fun adventure in word discovery.
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 a bit tricky to dial down at first, but once I had SWITCH and DIAL, I saw PHONE and as I plugged that in I saw ROTARY, so I switched things up and tried ROTARYPHONE which, unsurprisingly, was the spangram. From here everything came together pretty quickly.
