Lazy Sunday is here and snow has turned to rain and back to snow again. That makes for some icy conditions. But it’s great to get the moisture. Our dry, dry forests need every drop they can get. We have some words to uncover and a very sweet grid to solve, so let’s take a crack at today’s Strands puzzle!

Looking for Saturday’s Strands? Check out our guide right here.

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.
