One of these words is the <strong>spangram <\/strong>which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day\u2019s theme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spoilers ahead.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>Today\u2019s Strands Hints<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Read on for today\u2019s theme and some hints to help you uncover today\u2019s words.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today\u2019s Theme:<\/strong> Hullabaloo<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hint<\/strong>: Make some noise (words).<\/p>\n<p>Here are the first two letters of each word:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember, spoilers ahead!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>What Are Today\u2019s Strands Answers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Today\u2019s spangram is:<strong> LETS GO GET LOUD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the full list of words:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SHOUT<\/li>\n<li>CLAMOR<\/li>\n<li>HOLLER<\/li>\n<li>WHOOP<\/li>\n<li>BELLOW<\/li>\n<li>CATERWAUL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s the completed Strands grid:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-1065\" role=\"presentation\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"bMqrj\">\n<p><span style=\"-webkit-line-clamp:2\" class=\"Ccg9Ib-7 _8XF2kHYM\">Today&#8217;s Strands<\/span><\/p>\n<p><small class=\"pGGCM2aD\">Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"subhead3-embed color-body bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Today\u2019s Strands Breakdown<\/h3>\n<p>These are all \u2014 or at least mostly \u2014 such fantastic words.
