- KETCHUP
- MAYO
- MUSTARD
- SRIRACHA
- TZATZIKI
- AIOLI
The theme coupled with accidentally finding KETCHUP in the grids gave me all the hint I needed for today’s Strands. Soon, I found MUSTARD and MAYO in the grids. The Taco Bell lover in me also found SRIRACHA in the top right corner. That instantly gave away CONDIMENT as the Spangram for the day.
However, the last couple of grids wasn’t making any sense to me. Here, I relied solely on luck and blind guesses to find TZATZIKI and AIOLI as the last two condiments. That concluded my game for the day, and I luckily didn’t have to use up any hints.
