Strands July 20, 2024 Answers & Theme

The Strands July 20, 2024 puzzle should be relatively easy. Today’s answer and theme is rather simple, especially when compared to yesterday’s specialized theme of the Oscars. But it’s possible that you might still need to know the spangram or the other words in the grid search. Like Wordle and Connections, Strands is a The New York Times word game, but it asks players to find words in a letter grid, Boggle-style, that are common to a theme called a “spangram.” This word stretches from one end of the grid to the other. Here are the answers and solutions for the NYT Strands puzzle for 07/20/2024.

What are the Strands answers for July 20, 2024?

The following are all of the answers to the Strands game for July 20, 2024. We will provide the solution to the spangram theme and all of the words that you need to find.

• Today’s Theme Clue: A seat at the table

As usual, if you need a hint, you can find other words in the grid to fill up a meter. If you locate enough words that aren’t one of the answers, you will earn a hint that will give you all of the letters for a random word on the list.

In general, we recommend looking at the board for common word endings and suffixes. On this board, that would be the “-ing” in “placesetting” and the “-ork” in “fork.” Following this thread will usually give you a clue about where one of the theme words are. Eventually, using the process of elimination, you’ll find out where all of the answers are given the remaining letters.
