Spangram and theme clue
Theme clue: “Way to grow!”
Spangram: GARDEN
A spangram names or describes the puzzle’s theme and runs between opposite edges of the board. For this puzzle, GARDEN connects the answers about what helps plants grow. The answer set is corroborated by Try Hard Guides, Strands Answers, and TechRadar. These are secondary answer guides; an official New York Times archive source for this historical board was not established.
How Strands works
Strands is a themed word-search-style game in which players connect letters in different directions to find the theme words. The spangram crosses the board from one edge to the opposite edge. Try Hard Guides notes that finding non-theme words can earn hints. TechRadar describes the game as playable on NYT Games on desktop or mobile; this does not establish current access terms.
