Looking for Thursday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
Well the day has finally come. It's my last Strands guide for the time being. I'll be off the rotation for a couple of weeks, but I'll be back sometime in June — the best month of the year — to help you uncover words once again. For now, let's solve this Strands!
Strands is the newest game in the New York Times' stable of puzzle games. It's a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we're given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board, revealing more about the rest of the words on the grid.
Spoilers ahead.
Read on for today's theme and some hints to help you uncover today's words. Instead of giving you the first two letters of each word, today I'm giving out three hints instead of two.
Today's Theme: The magical fruit.
Hint: The more you eat the more you toot.
Clue: The more you toot, the happier you'll be!
Here are the first two letters of each of today's words:
Remember, spoilers ahead!
Today's spangram is: BEANSALAD
Here's the full list of words:

If you like beans, this won't be too hard of a Strands for you, though I think even the best of us struggles with the spelling of CANNELLINI which, even once I knew it was there, took me a few tries. Of course, I knew this was beans-related thanks to the very obvious theme 'Beans beans the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot' and so forth. It was only a matter of time before I started seeing them everywhere: GREEN beans, KIDNEY beans, PINTO beans, BLACK beans. I knew which ones to look for and I found them, lickety-split. Now I'm going to go make a burrito.
How did you do on your Strands today? Let me know on Twitter and Facebook.

Taylor Swift's Little Black Dress Stole the Show at Surprise Appearance with BF Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift always brings the fashion inspo. Earlier this week, the Eras hitmaker showed up for a surprise performance in Nashville at her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce's Tight Ends & Friends concert, where she performed her 2014 hit "Shake It Off" alongside country singer Chase Rice. For the event, which took place at the Brooklyn Bowl, Swift was seen wearing a sleek $495 LBD from one of her favorite L.A. labels, EB Denim, which is currently sold out on their website. The strappy ensemble included a fitted corset top and a pleated mini skirt, which have become a regular part of her rotation over the past few years. On her feet were the $1,900 knee-high boots from Manolo Blahnik she was previously seen wearing while attending the Kansas City Chiefs' matchup against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium in December 2024. Accessorizing her ensemble with a necklace from Steven Battelle and $4,100 diamond stud earrings from Maria Tash, she also opted for Louis Vuitton's $4,000 Side Trunk PM as her bag of choice. Fans went crazy upon seeing Swift pop up in surprise fashion. "Close enough—welcome back Eras Tour!!" one commented, with another adding, "I would've gone into cardiac arrest." Then there was this bold prediction, "She's gonna go back to country. I'm calling it now." And with the NFL season soon approaching, there are sure to be many more viral appearances from the singer that get the conversation going.

"Every Guy With a Tragic Backstory" Comedy Sketch Skewers the Saddest Action Hero Cliché — GeekTyrant
We've all seen him, the stoic loner with haunted eyes, who only speaks in vague, gravel-voiced riddles about "what happened that day." He's ex-special forces, or maybe just a guy with a mysterious past, but either way, someone definitely died and now he's here to brood, punch walls, and save the world (maybe). A new comedy sketch perfectly roasts this tired movie trope, piling on every tragic backstory imaginable… Dead wife? Check. Lost child? Of course. A dark secret involving the President? Weirdly, yes. The sketch hilariously leans into the melodrama, reminding us how absurdly common it is for every action hero to be emotionally wrecked and justice-bound. It's a perfect reminder that sometimes, the only thing more predictable than the villain… is the hero's trauma.
