What are the Strands answers for today, February 4?
The spangram answer of today’s puzzle is IMPISH. This adjective refers to a little pixie or hobgoblin that is always up to something mischievous. The word begins with the first letter of the fifth row, followed by the second letter, before jumping up to the fourth row’s third and fourth letters. It then returns to the fifth row again covering fifth and sixth letter, basically forming a plateau like line.
The list of other answers in the puzzle are:
- LEPRECHAUN- Top-left corner of the grid.
- FAIRY- Top-right corner of the grid.
- GREMLIN- Begins from top-center and trickles down to the middle.
- HOBGOBLIN- Just below the spangram.
- PIXIE- Bottom-left corner of the grid.
- SPRITE- Bottom-center of the grid.
The words FAIRY and GREMLIN are fairly easy to figure out as the connections are not that complex. Fans may encounter difficulty finding LEPRECHAUN as it is the longest word of the day. HOBGOBLIN too might throw some off as many might initially think of it as just “goblin.”
