The theme of today's NYT Strands is "It's a date!", which sounds like someone who's really into going out with someone new. If that's the route you want to take to find the Spangram and the May 11th fix, you're on the right track.

Here's how to solve the Strands puzzle from May 11.
Today's Strands board has a few double letters in a row, which are good starting points for exploring possible solutions. I suggest you take the theme literally and look for words that you think might relate to a date between two people. You'll likely find a solution word.
In my case, the third word I tried was part of the answer, and I rarely score that early in my attempts. I wouldn't worry too much about the Spangram from the beginning, since you can find most of the correct words without it. Just remember that they usually consist of two nouns.
