Every day were 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 days theme.Spoilers ahead.Todays Strands HintsRead on for todays theme and some hints to help you uncover todays words.Todays Theme: Here we (dont) go againHint #1: Too many carsHint #2: Too few alternatives to get where youre goingTo help you uncover all the words, here are the first two letters of every word, including the spangram.COGRBLOVTRRemember, spoilers ahead!What Are Todays Strands Answers?Todays spangram is: TRAFFICJAMHeres the full list of words:CONGESTIONGRIDLOCKBLOCKAGEOVERCROWDINGHeres the completed Strands grid:Today's StrandsScreenshot: Erik KainTodays Strands BreakdownTodays was a unique Strands in that it only had five words total, including the spangram, and each is obviously quite long. I actually found the spangram first. I found the word LOGJAM and when that didnt work, I tried to find something else to tag the JAM to, and there was TRAFFIC, plain as day. From here, I found BLOCKAGE and then noticed an ING next to it. Again, working in reverse I discovered OVERCROWDING. Only two words remained, and these were definitely tricky, but once I spotted the TION and worked backward, there was CONGESTION and it was just a hop, skip and a jump to GRIDLOCK. Man, I hate traffic so much.How did you do on your Strands today?
