The official theme for NYT Strands #783 is... "On the shopping block".

And here's an unofficial hint from me: "I'll tell you a store-y..."

  • QUERY
  • COUNTRY

Still struggling? The spangram touches two opposite sides of the board (but can start and end anywhere), and will give you a hint about the connection between the answers. Today, it starts with 'S' and ends in 'T'.

“On the shopping block”

💡🔵💡🔵

🟡🔵🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. I blame a slightly foggy flu brain for me struggling to get started today. Of course the theme of "On the shopping block" was going to be about different kinds of store!

Despite this, it took two clues to wake me up. The first revealed CORNER in the top-left, uh, corner, while the second gave me LIQUOR below it.

From there, it clicked, and I was able to connect the spangram of STOREFRONT in a 'U' shape along the bottom of the board.

Three more answers were left to find. CONVENIENCE was in the middle of the spangram, with GROCERY spelt backwards above it. That just left DISCOUNT in the top-right corner to complete the puzzle.

“Hullabaloo”

🔵🔵🔵🔵

🔵🟡🔵

Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today. What else can "Hullabaloo" refer to except general noisiness?

I found SHOUT in the top-left corner, followed by HOLLER below it. CATERWAUL, however, I found by accident while looking for clue words, as it's not a common one on my side of the Atlantic.

I then saw "loud" spelt backwards, which I assumed to be part of the spangram. I couldn't land it, but I was able to look at the unused letters around it and make a word with them instead: BELLOW.

I then found WHOOP on the right-hand side, which was enough for me to see the path of the aforementioned spangram. It was, of course, LETSGETLOUD.

All that was left was to connect CLAMOR in the remaining gap to complete the puzzle.
