Today’s Strands Strategy and Commentary
The letters are spread across the top, middle, and bottom of the board, so do not focus only on one area. Look for terms related to events or venues first, as they often point toward the Spangram. Finding the longer connecting word early will help you map out where the shorter theme words are hidden.
