This is the archived Friday, March 28, 2025 puzzle, game #390—not a puzzle identified only by the relative label “today.” TechRadar published its answer report on March 27, 2025, and the YourDictionary/WordFinder archive lists the March 28 entry. Both report the same five theme words and spangram: TechRadar’s March 27 answer report and the YourDictionary / WordFinder Strands archive. These are matching secondary reports; no official NYT puzzle page is cited here.
