Work Out The Bugs Theme Hint In NYT Strands
Working out the bugs theme for today’s NYT Strands game was much easier than the previous one. The theme hints at insects.
Today’s NYT Strands feature six words and one spangram, mainly focusing on defining the theme.
You can start making any word. If the word belongs to the theme, you will have one less word to identify or earn a hint.

For the first word, you can start in the first column, start in the fourth row, and end in the last row.
BEETLE is the first and most common word related to bugs. You might have already guessed this word if you are a regular player and good at it.

- MILLIPEDE
Now, we have only one word left at the end: spangram.
Spangram CREEPYCRAWLIES In Today’s NYT Strands
As spangram is the main word for the puzzle theme, it is a bit more complex than other words to identify. If you guess it at the beginning, it’s good; else, you can leave it for the end.
In Strands, every letter must be connected, so the last remaining word is easy to find, as you only need to join the remaining letters.
Today’s spangram was also not much difficult. After finding the 5 words, it was easily noticeable in the middle.
NYT Strands today’s spangram was CREEPYCRAWLIES, starting from the 3rd column in the first row and ending at the 5th row in the 4th column.
