Today's Strands are very difficult if you miss the Spangram early on. "Good times ahead" is probably the puzzle I struggled with the most, because none of the answer words seemed to connect at first. Even when I found the Spangram, I had to think more to complete the board.

You can start today’s Strands by finding random words on the board to unlock a clue or two. Words like “troop” and “hog” might catch your attention, but they’re not part of the answer. This might not be enough, so I recommend checking out the hints below to find the Spangram before continuing. Otherwise, you’ll likely need hints to find every word.

Today's Spangram starts on the top row and ends on the bottom. The first letter is further to the left than the last.

The first letter of the Spangram is “A” and the last letter is “Y”.
