ForbesNYT ‘Strands’ Today: Hints, Spangram And Answers For Monday, April 28th
It’s Tuesday, a day named after Tyr, the Norse god associated with war. While it’s a light-hearted notion to suggest that conflicts start on this day, we know that all days carry their own weight in history. Today, our focus shifts away from myths and wars to the delightful challenge of solving words in a new puzzle. Let’s dive into today’s Strands!
Strands is the latest addition to the New York Times puzzle collection. This game offers a refreshing spin on traditional word searches. Each day presents a new theme, prompting players to identify all relevant words within the grid, including a special spangram that connects two edges of the board. The spangram not only adds challenge but also deepens our understanding of the day’s theme.
Beware: Spoilers are ahead.

Today’s Strands Breakdown
Aside from the relatively straightforward spangram—SHELLS—this round proved to be quite challenging. Making the connection between the theme “I’ve got you covered” and the concept of shell-bearing entities was a bit of a stretch, particularly with words like NUCLEUS and NAUTILUS included. Some words, such as TACO and WALNUT, relate to food, while others like ARMADILLO and TORTOISE pertain to animals. A complex Strands is always invigorating, and today’s challenge certainly delivered.
