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

Sunday, lazy Sunday. A day I like to imagine I’ll just laze around doing nothing, when in reality I’m usually just as busy with work, chores and activities as any other day of the week. Still, it’s fun to pretend. We have a fresh Strands grid to uncover words on today, so let’s dive right into that and kick off the day in style . . . .

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

It was pretty obvious after the first couple that today’s words would all connect with the word ‘SUIT.’ Still, it took me a bit to even find one word that worked. I even found ‘WEBSITE’ and that wasn’t a word. At last, I found CIVIL and STRONG and then it all just sort of appeared. JUMP and then WELLSUITED, the spangram, and everything else lined up. Clever theme!
