Clue words used to unlock in-game hints
Your goal is to find the hidden words that fit the theme of the puzzle. If you get stuck, find any words you can use. Whenever you find three words of four letters or more, Strands displays one of the themed words. These are the words I used to get these tips, but any word you find with four or more letters will work:
- Listen, mark, matt, star, pie, matt, seal, prophet, rule, ruler, ruler, urchin, rat, blue, crab, steal, thrill.
Answers to today’s Strands puzzle
These are topic-related answers. The goal of the puzzle is to find all of them, including the spangram, a topic word that extends from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of those letters (I originally thought there were always eight, but later learned the numbers can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the non-Spangram answers:
- arts, crafts, milk, cereal, rhythm, blues, soap, water
