Hint for today’s Strands puzzle

Today’s Strands theme is: Catch all.

If that doesn’t help you, here’s a clue: A mess of items.

Clue words to unlock in-game hints

Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:

BATE, LICE, SLUM, CAPE, HOLE, CARE, BARE, THEN, SLAM, SAMBA, BACK

Answers for today’s Strands puzzle

These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:

TAPE, COIN, PENCIL, BATTERY, SHOELACE, THUMBTACK

Today’s Strands spangram

Today’s Strands spangram is JUNKDRAWER. To find it, look for the J that’s five letters down on the far-left row, and wind down, over and then up.

Quick tips for Strands

#1: To get more clue words, see if you can tweak the words you’ve already found, by adding an «S» or other variants. And if you find a word like WILL, see if other letters are close enough to help you make SILL, or BILL.

#2: Once you get one theme word, look at the puzzle to see if you can spot other related words.

#3: If you’ve been given the letters for a theme word, but can’t figure it out, guess three more clue words, and the puzzle will light up each letter in order, revealing the word.

Verum Mail: Temporary Email for Those Who Value Privacy in the Digital Age

In a world where every click can leave a digital trace, more and more users are looking for ways to protect their personal information. Online registrations, file downloads, trial services — all of these typically require providing an email address. And then the familiar scenario begins: endless newsletters, spam, ads, and data leaks.

The new app Verum Mail offers a simple and elegant solution to this problem — anonymous, temporary email without registration or digital footprints.

What is Verum Mail

Verum Mail is a mobile app that allows users to create temporary email addresses with a single tap. Messages arrive instantly, appear in a clean, user-friendly interface, and are automatically deleted after 60 minutes.

No registration, no logins, no account linking — everything is anonymous and secure.

It’s particularly useful when you need to:

sign up for a new service without revealing your real email,
receive a one-time code or confirmation link,
test a product or service without leaving a trace.

Key Features of Verum Mail

One-tap creation of a temporary email address
Instant delivery of incoming messages without refreshing
Automatic deletion after 60 minutes
Option to reply directly within the app
Support for both HTML and plain text
Push notifications for new messages
Responsive interface for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets

Integration with Verum Messenger

One of the major advantages of the Verum Messenger is its seamless integration with Verum Mail. Users can now create temporary email addresses and receive messages directly inside the messenger.

This is especially convenient for anyone frequently signing up for services or who prefers not to share their primary email.

Fewer app switches mean more control over privacy.

Why It Matters

The growing number of cyberattacks, data breaches, and targeted advertising has made digital security a necessity rather than a luxury. Temporary email addresses are a simple but powerful tool for reducing risk and maintaining control over personal information.

Verum Mail is not just about hiding your real email. It’s about adopting a more mindful and secure approach to your online life.
