ForbesNYT Strands Answers Today: Sunday, April 26 Hints (Get Into It)
Hey, folks! Today’s NYT Strands hints, spangram and answers for Monday, April 27 are coming right up.
The New York Times’ Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s available on the NYT website and in the NYT Games app alongside the likes of Wordle and Connections (which we also cover in daily guides at Forbes Gaming).
There’s a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you’ll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue.
You’ll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links at least two sides of the board, but it may not start or end there. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow.
Every letter is used once in the theme words and spangram. You can connect letters vertically, horizontally and diagonally, and it’s possible to switch directions in the middle of a word. If you’re playing on a touchscreen, double tap the last letter to submit your guess.
If you find three valid words of at least four letters that are not part of the theme, you’ll unlock the Hint button. Clicking this will highlight the letters that make up one of the theme words.
Scroll slowly! Just after the hint for today’s Strands puzzle, I’ll reveal what the first two letters for the spangram and the other words are.
The official theme hint for today’s Strands puzzle is...
The ayes have it!
Need some extra help? Here’s another hint...
Me first
There are eight theme words to find today, including the spangram.
Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll any further down the page until you’re ready to find out today’s Strands opening letters.
Here are the first two letters of every theme word in today’s puzzle. They’re ordered from left to right, then top to bottom by any letter of the word appearing for the first time:
Before I reveal the other the full word list, I’ll first tell you the spangram and show you where that is on the grid.
This is your final spoiler warning!
Scroll slowly, because I’ll tell you what all the theme words are immediately after showing you where the spangram is.

I used three hints and the spangram was the fifth theme word I found.
I found it interesting that not only did all the non-spangram words start with the letter "I," they began with the same sound as well.
