Every day we\u2019re 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 <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<section id=\"todays-strands-hints\">\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> Men In Tights<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hint<\/strong>: Some of the words not in today\u2019s grid include Little John, Maid Marian and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>The first two letters of each word:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember, spoilers ahead!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"what-are-todays-strands-answers\">\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> ROBIN HOOD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the full list of words:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>OUTLAW<\/li>\n<li>FOREST<\/li>\n<li>FRIAR<\/li>\n<li>SHERIFF<\/li>\n<li>DISGUISE<\/li>\n<li>ARCHERY<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here\u2019s the completed Strands grid:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-1090\" 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>This was a fun NYT Strands even if it wasn\u2019t the most challenging.
