Understanding today's theme
The theme clue is intentionally cryptic. We help you interpret it without giving away the answer—think of it as a hint for the hint.
Finding the spangram
The spangram spans the entire board and reveals the theme. We offer directional hints (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) before revealing the word itself.
Theme word strategies
Once you understand the theme, finding related words becomes easier. We explain the connection pattern without listing every word.
