Answers for March 10
The spangram is GOODDAY. The six theme words are:
- AHOY
- GREETINGS
- HELLO
- HOWDY
- SALUTATIONS
- WELCOME
There is a small answer-list discrepancy among published guides: PC Guide gives GREETING in the singular, while TechRadar, Try Hard Guides, and Parade list GREETINGS. The plural is supported by three of the four guides.
How Strands hints work
Strands is a themed word-search-style game played on a grid of 48 letters arranged in six rows and eight columns. Trace words through adjacent letters to find the theme answers. Finding three words that are not theme answers earns an in-game hint, which reveals letters from a theme word. The spangram describes the theme and stretches between two opposite sides of the board.
