Hints for Strands #341
Theme and spangram clue
The theme is “A flair for fashion.” The spangram clue is “Sewing add-ons.” The puzzle is about decorative elements for clothing.
Starting letters
For a final nudge before the answers, the entries begin SE, TA, FR, LA and EM. The spangram begins CL. Its path connects the left and right edges; it is not necessarily a straight horizontal line.
NYT Strands answers for Friday, February 7
Theme words: EMBROIDERY, LACE, FRINGE, TASSEL and SEQUINS.
Spangram: CLOTHING ACCENTS.
The five theme words name embellishments, while CLOTHING ACCENTS captures what they have in common.
How the hints work
Strands fills the board with theme words and a spangram that describes the theme and reaches two opposite sides. Parade’s dated guide says that finding three non-theme words earns a hint revealing letters in theme words; consult the NYT Strands game page for current official rules.
