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.
