Hints for Strands #130
If you want a nudge before seeing the full solution, think of a baked potato and the toppings that turn it into a loaded lunch. The theme is “Loaded lunch.”
In Strands, you trace letters through the grid to find themed words. The spangram captures the theme and stretches between opposing edges of the grid. The game overview also describes an earned hint: finding three words unrelated to the theme can trigger a hint that highlights a theme word. The New York Times Strands overview and Try Hard Guides’ July 11 answer guide describe these mechanics.
