Strands hints and answers for Monday, October 19, 2026
Monday's Strands board is Greek myth from top to bottom: seven theme words for its beings and powers, plus a 12-letter spangram that names the whole subject. The clue shrugs - it is all Greek to the puzzlemaker too - but the board is generous once you spot the first god or spirit.
