Hints for the October 14 Strands puzzle
The published theme clue is “Get out of here!” The additional hint reported on the archived puzzle page is “These words are arduous.” Both point toward moving-related vocabulary. Creative Collaboration/Mashable syndicated content reports that secondary clue.
If you want to solve before seeing the answers, look for words associated with packing, carrying, and transporting belongings. In Strands, theme words are traced through adjacent letters. Try Hard Guides says that finding three unrelated words earns a hint revealing a theme word. Try Hard Guides’ guide explains that mechanic.
Spangram
MOVINGDAY is the spangram, reported as running horizontally across the grid. A spangram summarizes the puzzle’s theme and spans opposite sides of the board. The October 14 hint page gives its orientation.
