Looking for Monday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
It’s time to uncover some words this fine Tuesday with all you fine Strandistas. The weather is lovely. The night is young. There’s much to be done, so let’s puzzle this Strands out!
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 actually a super challenging puzzle for me. It took forever! Some of the words weren’t too bad, including the spangram—FILLINGS—but others were gnarly, like NOUGAT and LIQUEUR. I got there eventually, though! And now I want some chocolate. Thanks a lot Strands! (Also, this would have been a good Valentine’s Day puzzle!)
