Your goal is to find the hidden words that match the theme of the puzzle. If you’re stuck, look up any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get the hints, but any four or more letter words you can find will work:

• WING, EVEN, LADY, ROOK, BATE, WILT, NORM, BEAT, MIRE, LIGHT, TEAM, MATE, TERN, GREAT, SWIG

These are the answers related to the theme. The object of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that extends from one side of the puzzle to the other. Once you’ve got them all (at first I thought there were always eight but found out the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the non-spangram responses:

• DAWN, NOON, DUSK, NIGHT, EVENING, MORNING, SUN
