Strands hints and answers for Saturday, October 31, 2026
Today's Strands board is the Halloween haul itself: six theme words for what lands in a trick-or-treater's bag tonight - and what the night leaves behind for the dentist - plus the spangram, the two-word phrase every costumed kid says at the door.
Hints, in order
Hint 0 of 3Tap to show one hint at a time.
The clue is literal: picture the bag a trick-or-treater carries door to door tonight, and everything that ends up inside it.
Every theme word names something in the haul: a fruit handed out as the healthy option, the sweet stuff itself, a pair of plastic vampire teeth, a ring, a sheet of spooky decals, and the one practical item dentists love to hand out.
One twelve-letter spangram runs edge to edge: the two-word demand every costumed kid makes at the door, run together. It starts with T and ends with T.
Spangram and theme words
The spangram first, then all six theme words.
