Looking for Wednesday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
Strands, Wordle, Connections, the Crossword—so many games yet so little time! And some of these can be tricky. Indeed, today’s Strands is quite the puzzle! If this one doesn’t stump you, bravo!
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.
Spoilers ahead.

Today’s Strands Breakdown
This was a very challenging Strands mostly because some of these birds are either obscure or tricky to spell. BITTERN? EGRET? SPOONBILL? These are daunting words to uncover! I also selected WADINGBIRDS with the ‘S’ before trying the singular. I suppose this will be a pretty easy puzzle for bird-watchers, at least . . . .
