APRIL 7 NYT Strands Solved

As soon as I laid eyes on the grids, I found BALLOON in the rightmost column. Right under it, I found EYELASH, and running from bottom to top was LIGHTWEIGHT, which was the Spangram for today. At the top left corner, there was PAPER, and at the bottom, STRAW.

The rest of the grids housed FEATHER and BUBBLE and that marked the end of today’s game. So, there we go, another round of not using hints. However, going by how NYT rolls out these puzzles, I’m scared that we might get to see a frustrating puzzle one of these days.
