Welcome to today's edition of the NYT's Strands game, where your task is to discover words hidden within a grid of letters. The twist is that they all follow a theme and one, called a 'spangram', describes that theme. It can be quite complicated, but I've included some tips below to help you get your bearings.

NYT Strands Today (Game #67): The Answers
The answers to today's Strands game number 67 are…
- TUNNEL
- WATERFALL
- ROCK
- RAMP
- CASTLE
- WINDMILL
- SPANGRAM: MINI GOLF
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: Perfect
This was about solving the spangram. Without him, it was really difficult; with him, much, much easier. The theme clue made sense once you knew the answer was MINIGOLF, but it was obtuse enough that it didn't give the game away entirely. I messed around not knowing what was going on for a while, choosing TUNNEL and WATERFALL because they were easy to spot on the board, but having no idea what the others might be.
I toyed with it having something to do with rivers or landscapes, but I couldn't get the track to work properly with them, and it was only when I added BOULDER, also by accident, that MINIGOLF became apparent. After that, the others were easy prey.
