The OnePlus 11 is out now and we’ve rounded up the best ways to save on this new device.

Following its official unveiling in February, the latest flagship phone from OnePlus — the OnePlus 11 — is now available to buy. We’ve been scoping out the best OnePlus 11 deals for those who want to get ahold of one now while still saving some cash.

The follow-up to last year’s OnePlus 10 Pro features a slick, refreshed design and blistering speeds for gaming, plus exceptionally fast charging and a new Hasselblad-branded camera setup. The OnePlus 11 has a 6.7-inch display, making it one of the larger options at this kind of price, and it doesn’t skimp on features with a Super AMOLED panel, adaptive frame rate up to 120Hz and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

How much does the OnePlus 11 cost?

OnePlus has long been known for offering some of the most affordable flagship devices and the OnePlus 11 is no different.

What colors does the OnePlus 11 come in?

Like its predecessor, there’s not a great deal of choice when it comes to OnePlus 11 color options. The device is available in just two hues: eternal green and titan black.

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.

Quick tips for Wordle

#1: Check our list ranking the popularity of all the letters in the alphabet and choose your starter words accordingly. (TRAIN, STERN and AUDIO are good.)

#2: Don’t forget that letters can be used more than once.

#3: Many words are similar. You don’t want to use up multiple guesses that don’t advance your cause. So if the puzzle is STA_E, don’t guess STARE, STATE and STALE. Guess something that uses that R, T and L, like TWIRL.
