Today’s Answers
If you have scrolled this far, you are probably ready to see the answers. So, let’s take a look at today’s Strands theme words in Strands:
- MUSH
- SOCKS
- NOBODY
- CLOCKS
- KITTENS
- MITTENS
Today’s puzzle was a little tricky for me, and I had to use a hint. I started out strong by spotting the words CLOCKS and SOCKS on the opposite ends of the grid. This then made me think about things we need in bed at night, but I was proven wrong when I found the words – NOBODY at the bottom right and KITTEN at the top right.
Now, I found myself stuck and used a hint, which revealed to me the word MUSH at the top, making me more confused. I stuck to my guns and found Goodnight and Moon, but didn’t know it made the Spangram for today. So, I just went with the flow and connected both to get Goodnight Moon as the Spangram. Finally, I linked the letters to make MITTENS and end today’s puzzle.
