Mar. 23, 2024What is the Theme for Today’s NYT Strands?

Spoiler Warning #1Even though we have tried our best to be subtle, the hints below might partially spoil the experience. Proceed with caution.
When it comes to Strands, there are two categories of words in the game. The Spangrams are the ones you should be targeting first since the other regular theme words fall under it directly. Every Strands game has one Spangram that you need to decipher. Think of it as the main theme of sorts.
Uncovering the Spangram as early on as possible makes completing the game easier. The hint for today’s Spangram is“Not meant to be”.
Now, if you have figured out the Spangram from the above hint, figuring out the theme words will understandably be fairly easy. However, I don’t want to ruin it for you. Instead, here are hints to 2 out of 7 theme words that may help you:

Again, today, I was joined byAnmol(our Editor-in-Chief) andAkshay(our Content Strategist). Going by the previous games, we were looking for puns associated with the theme, for we didn’t expect it to be direct. Somehow, today’s game was.
With that in mind, didn’t take us long to find KISS. That was soon followed by making POISON out in the top right corner. Clinging to it subtly, we found LOVE. With that, we detected STARCROSSED as the Spangram for the day.
With the game completely figured out now, we found the rest of the words in quick succession. The other words were FEUD, BALCONY, TRAGEDY and TRYST. With that, we concluded our game for the day!
No hints were used for today’s game either. Gosh, group Strands solves are indeed the best! This was way too much fun and did make me want to update my guide onhow to play NYT Strandswith an important tip – play with your friends when you can.
