NEW Strands today (game #759) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #759, are…
- QUIET
- QUIET
- QUIET
- NOISELESS
- OUTRAGEOUS
- SPANGRAM: SHHHHHHHHHHHHH
- My assessment: Hard
- My score: Perfect
Seeing all the H’s on the board made me think today’s game was some sort of April Fool’s joke, but I went ahead and connected them all anyway and ended up with a 13 letter spangram.
Incidentally, there is no standard for the number of H’s in today’s spangram, but it is generally accepted to be four, so Strands is exaggerating it just a bit.
Besides the H’s, the only other easy thing today was the word QUIET, thanks to the hard to hide letter Q.

- WINGS

- COIN
