Hints, Spangram And Answers For Sunday, June 8th
Today’s NYT Strands hints and answers
Looking for Saturday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
Another day, another Strands puzzle for us to solve. We have words to uncover and a great big lazy Sunday to enjoy, so let’s get right down to business.
Strands is the newest game in the New York Times’ stable of puzzle games. It’s a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we’re given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day’s theme.
Spoilers ahead.

Today’s Strands Breakdown
I think my brain is just not working properly when it comes to word-finding these days. I took my sweet time with this one, finding all kinds of words that had nothing to do with the them, and only sometimes finding words that would actually lead to a word—like SING leading to SINGING eventually. Thankfully, once I had that I found CAST and SCORE and then the spangram ITSSHOWTIME appeared. With the left side of the board done, I was able to scrape out the last three: LIGHTS, DANCING and finally COSTUMES to wrap things up.
