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:

HARE, HARES, LAME, HEAR, HEARS, DIRE, ANGEL

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:

HERALD, ARCHANGEL, SERAPH, MESSENGER, GUARDIAN

Today’s Strands spangram

Today’s Strands spangram is HEAVENSENT. To find it, look for the H that’s three letters down on the far-left row, and wind up and over.

Trump Signs Order to Transfer TikTok to US Ownership

«This is going to be American-operated all the way,» Trump says.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday spelling out a deal that could transfer the majority ownership of Chinese-founded app TikTok to Americans.

«This is going to be American-operated all the way,» Trump said, according to NBC News.

A representative for the White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The president said that he had agreed with Chinese president Xi Jinping that TikTok would be separated from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, in order to continue operating in the US. US companies will own about 80% of the US version of the app. Six Americans will sit on TikTok’s seven-member board of directors, The Guardian reported.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
