Theme hint
Think about things that fit different occasions—and the different meanings of “suit.” The puzzle’s theme is “Nice fit.”
Clue words for in-game hints
In Strands, finding non-theme words can unlock in-game hints. The clue words reported for this board are:
- TILL
- HILL
- BILL
- DUST
- THERE
- WELL
Parade describes the game’s hint mechanic as granting a hint for every three non-theme words found; the hint reveals letters in a theme word. Parade’s November 10 guide gives that explanation.

Spangram hint
The spangram clue is “Fits the bill.” It runs horizontally from left to right, connecting the two sides of the board. TechRadar places its first letter at the left edge in row five and its last letter at the right edge in row four. TechRadar’s guide provides those positions.
Spoiler: spangram and answers
Spangram: WELLSUITED
Theme words: JUMP, BIRTHDAY, LEISURE, BUSINESS, STRONG, CIVIL
The words play on “suit”: a jumpsuit, a birthday suit, leisurewear, a business suit, a strong suit, and a civil suit. Together, they make “WELLSUITED” the phrase that ties the theme together. These answers are corroborated by TechRadar, WordHint, and Parade.

Strands is a word-search puzzle: theme words fill the board, and the spangram describes the theme while connecting opposite sides. WordHint describes the board as a 6-by-8 grid of 48 letters. These mechanics are described by secondary guides rather than an official NYT rules page in the sources cited here. WordHint’s date-specific page explains the board and spangram.
