Looking for Monday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
It’s Tuesday! Huzzah! I’m not sure why this is cause for celebration, but I do know that Tuesday is a somewhat overlooked day of the week. People are rarely excited about it unless it’s Taco Tuesday. In fact, why not let it be Taco Tuesday tonight? I’m going to have tacos, in any case. But before I do, let’s uncover some words in today’s Strands grid!
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.

It took me a little while to find my first word, or rather the first correct word. I always find a ton of words that don’t actually count. Once I had THANK, CONSIDER and RESPECT, I snagged the spangram — BEPOLITE — easily enough. All told, while it took me a bit to get going, once I did these came quickly.
