Below, you\u2019ll find some extra clues and other help to get you started in your quest.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday is here at last and it\u2019s a lovely rainy weekend that I\u2019m very excited about. Rain in the mountains, flash floods, the occasional bolt of lightning and corresponding crash of thunder. The perfect weather to uncover words in today\u2019s NYT Strands grid! Let\u2019s do it!<\/p>\n<p>How To Play Strands<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/games\/strands\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/games\/strands\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/games\/strands\" aria-label=\"Strands\">Strands<\/a> is the newest game in the New York Times\u2019 stable of puzzle games. It\u2019s a fun twist on classic word search games. 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 spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day\u2019s theme.<\/p>\n<p>Spoilers ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s Strands Hints<\/p>\n<p>Read on for today\u2019s theme and some hints to help you uncover today\u2019s words.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s Theme: A healthy breakfast<\/p>\n<p>Hint: Arguably the healthiest type of cereal other than straight-up oatmeal, and the words to describe it (though some might say no cereal is particularly healthy).<\/p>\n<p>The first two letters of each word:<\/p>\n<p>Play Puzzles &amp; Games on Forbes<\/p>\n<p>Remember, spoilers ahead!<\/p>\n<p>What Are Today\u2019s Strands Answers?<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s spangram is: BOWL OF GRANOLA<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the full list of words:<\/p>\n<p>SWEETOATYNUTTYCRUNCHYSALTYWHOLESOME<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the completed Strands grid:<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Strands<\/p>\n<p>Screenshot: Erik KainToday\u2019s Strands Breakdown<\/p>\n<p>Well the corners were key today, holding SWEET, SALTY and NUTTY. I found WHOLE down in the bottom right, but couldn\u2019t piece together WHOLESOME until I\u2019d already found the spangram, BOWL OF GRANOLA, which I only uncovered after CRUNCHY. Do you consider a bowl of granola a healthy breakfast, or are you more in for the eggs, sausages and potatoes? Or perhaps a Mexican breakfast burrito? Biscuits and gravy, perhaps? <\/p>\n<p>How\u2019d you do on your Strands today?
