Apart from the Spangram, you’ll need to find 5 theme words in today’s puzzle. However, if you are having a tough time getting through the Strands, check out some tips and tricks in my guide on how to play NYT Strands.

List of Theme Words for NYT Strands on April 5

If you have scrolled this far, you are probably ready to see the answers. So, let’s take a look at today’s theme words in Strands:

BURGUNDY
TOMATO
CARDINAL
STRAWBERRY
CINNAMON

The theme today had me think that maybe the Strands today was about shades of red. And I was probably a bit right, having found BURGUNDY a minute into the game. However, post that, it got a bit tough to find words with that thought. When I found TOMATO at the top, I realized that it was about things that are red in color.

With that thought, REDALERT running through the middle as the Spangram was very easy to find. I quickly found STRAWBERRY in the bottom left, CARDINAL in the top right, and CINNAMON in the top left. That concluded my game, and well, we didn’t have to use any hints.

How to Get an Invisible Item Frame in Minecraft

View quick summary

Item frames are very neat entities that display items, but sometimes it's the best if you cannot see them. To get an invisible item frame in Minecraft, you can use the following command - /give @p item_frame{EntityTag:{Invisible:1b}}. This works on Minecraft 1.17. Furthermore, there are texture packs that turn all regular item frames invisible when enabled. The third option is to use a mod, which allows you to toggle visibility of an item frame by sneaking and punching it. Getting invisible item frames on Bedrock edition is far more complicated, but is achievable with invisible armor stands.

Manor Lords is the one strategy game I had been dreaming about for ages, with RTS combat combined with free-flowing city building. The game returns some of my favorite features from old strategy games, controlling armies in real time and engaging in battle, being able to build anything anywhere, and the ability to scout enemies. Add the hyper-realistic graphics and it ticks every box I have been looking for in a new age strategy game.

Hunters in Manor Lords stop hunting when there aren't any resources on the map. Since wild animals are a finite resource, ensure you've assigned hunting limits to your hunters. Also set up a hunter's camp near the hunting zone, if they migrate. Furthermore, you need to ensure that the camp is connected to the road, and your hunter hasn't set-up a shop in the market. If otherwise, assign a family to a storehouse, and another to the camp to fix the issue.

One thing that has been missing, or hard to understand, in the game is a main villain. So far, we have seen Nanook and other followers of Destruction, Stellarons, and the Swarm as the main villains of the cosmos.
