Another day in Strands means another new theme. The strands’ theme for the day #549 is “That’s So Sweet!”
While today’s puzzle may look easier from the outside, it’s actually quite tricky.
If you want a hint, you can think of different types of Sugar, but most of them we dont use on a regular basis at all.
Answers And Hints For Today’s Strands (#549)
For players struggling to find the initial word, try connecting the random words from the 8×6 grid and use this hint.
As already mentioned, today’s theme is related to Sugar. And, you need to find seven words, including the spangram, to complete the puzzle.
If you are thinking or normal or white sugar, you can simply avoid it and try to think of other ones.
Here are the two initial letters of the answers, excluding the spangram, to help you solve the game faster.
- CU
- BR
- IN
- GR
- TU
- PO
For those who dont want to waste any further time, can view the full answers and solve their strands.
- CUBE
- BROWN
- INVERT
- GRANULATED
- TURBINADO
- POWDERED
- SUGARY (Spangram)
A few of the words in the puzzle were tricky; to be honest, I am even surprised that Invert and Turbinado are types of sugar.
However, I still got the puzzle sorted, but it wasn’t perfect, as the Spangram are always the trickiest to find.
