I have to admit: At first I thought the “all atwitter” theme of today’s NYT Strands was a nod to social media platforms, but it’s not. While this game has tongue-in-cheek themes, the May 28th game is straightforward and literally about birds. Here’s how to find and solve the Spangram.

You can definitely find today’s NYT Strands Spangram as your first correct guess, especially since it runs from left to right and starts right in the middle of the board. As usual, it consists of two words that narrow down the theme and get you closer to solving the puzzle. Here are some additional hints to help you find the Spangram:
The "all atwitter" NYT Strands Spangram is "BIRDSONG." It starts at "B" in the left column and ends at "G" in the right column. This means that all of the words you find on the board describe sounds that birds make, such as "squawk" and "hoot"—even though they are not part of the solution.
