Looking for Monday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
It's not my normal day for Strands but my colleague Paul Tassi has found himself indisposed. I'm hopping in for the night because somebody has to help uncover these words! Let's solve this Strands!
Strands is the newest game in the New York Times' stable of puzzle games. It's a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we're given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day's theme.
Spoilers ahead.
Read on for today's theme and some hints to help you uncover today's words. Instead of giving you the first two letters of each word, today I'm giving out three hints instead of two.

Today's spangram is: TRADEMARKED
Here's the full list of words:
Here's the completed Strands grid:
Strands
I found the first couple words instantly today: KLEENEX and JACUZZI right at the top, and then TRADEMARKED right after that. The last few were trickier. This was also somewhat educational. If you didn't know CHAPSTICK was a brand, for instance. Or POPSICLE. These are the types of trademarked words that are just so commonplace in the English language, they become interchangeable with the product itself.
How did you do on your Strands today? Let me know on Twitter and Facebook.

Andrew Cuomo scrambles ‘bacon, cheese and egg' order in awkward breakfast Q&A, baffling NYers: ‘Should be a disqualifying offense'
It's an unforgivable schmear. Mayoral frontrunner Andrew Cuomo had egg on his face after he scrambled the name of New York City's iconic bacon, egg and cheese sandwich during a head-scratching Q&A. The former governor made a hash of his answer to a question about his go-to breakfast order and even confessed that he prefers English muffins over bagels – a revelation that had New Yorkers hotter than a bodega grill. 'Bacon, cheese and egg on an English muffin, and then I try to take off the bacon, but I don't really take off the bacon,' Cuomo told the New York Times in an interview Tuesday, bungling the order of ingredients of the Big Apple breakfast bulwark. 'The bagel I try to stay away from, to keep my girlish figure.' 3 Self-respecting New Yorkers — who know the order is always bacon first, egg second and cheese third — mocked Cuomo for his remix, tearing his choice of bread a whole new set of nooks and crannies. Manhattanite Juan Concepción, 34, couldn't bialy-lieve Cuomo's response as the candidate seemed to be groping for an answer. 'It was a muffin, then he says it's a bagel. Then he took off the bacon, so it's an egg and cheese muffin,' he said. 'At least he's trying to be healthy.' When read the order, employees at Jimbo's Hamburger Place laughed out loud. 'It seems funny,' said Kemo, 50, an employee at the burger joint along First Avenue near Cuomo's pad. Cuomo's comments didn't go over-easy on social media, either. City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Queens) gave it a ruthless review that questioned Cuomo's New York bona fides. 'Honestly, calling it a 'bacon, cheese and egg' instead of a bacon egg and cheese should be a disqualifying offense,' she posted on X. 'A truly insane thing to say in NYC,' another X user posted. Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani, who's polling second behind Cuomo in the Democratic Party primary for mayor, pounced on the breakfast order during an unrelated press conference on Tuesday. 'It confirms so much of what we feared about Andrew Cuomo, not just that he doesn't know how to order a bacon, egg and cheese, but also the fact that this is a man who New York City has been something he's understood more through his television screen than actually by walking the streets, and we've seen that over the course of this campaign, he seems to be afraid of the city,' Mamdani said. 'He spends his time between his car and his $8,000 a month apartment in Midtown, and we don't ever know when we're going to see him, other than when it's legally required of him to be present.' The man Cuomo is running to replace — Mayor Eric Adams — has also been toasted by critics over some eccentric breakfast preferences. Adams told the Jewish publication Forward that he no longer eats bagels because of his diabetes — and has replaced them with something akin to rabbit food. 'I loved a good cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, and now I make my own bread with flaxseed and vegan cheese,' he said. Adams, who claims to be vegan, has been semi-regularly posting his breakfast smoothie concoctions, such as one with blueberries, romaine lettuce, avocado, cacao powder and green tea — a combination that prompted one X user to respond: 'Dude what the f–k.' Besides the breakfast brouhaha, Cuomo's interview with the Gray Lady provided ample fodder for his opponents' accusations that he's an out-of-touch carpetbagger. The Queens native acknowledged that he hadn't lived in the city since he was '32-ish,' which would be in roughly 1990. Cuomo signed the lease on his East 54th Street apartment in December 2023 and started living in it full-time during fall 2024, his reps have said. Cuomo's campaign didn't respond to The Post's request that he explain his breakfast order.

Meet the Kardashians' plastic surgeons responsible for Kris Jenner's new face and Kylie's 'teardrop' curves
While most celebrities stay tight-lipped about their plastic surgeons, Kylie Jenner surprised fans by doing the opposite: listing exactly what she got done, down to her implant size and plastic surgeon. It all started when TikToker Rachel Leary posted a video asking Kylie to share details of her surgery. "Please, can you just tell me/us/anyone that's interested, what it is you asked for when you had your boobs done?" Leary said. "It's the most perfect, natural-looking boob job ever." About a day later, Jenner, 27, responded. "445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! garth fisher!!! hope this helps lol," Jenner wrote in a comment. The Kardashians and Jenners are no strangers to plastic surgery, or to public speculation about what they got done. But between Kylie Jenner's TikTok comment and Kris Jenner recently confirming her plastic surgeon, the family is becoming a little more open about the men behind their updates. Dr. Garth Fisher, Kylie's surgeon, is known for 'teardrop' breasts Dr. Garth Fisher, a board-certified Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, has been the go-to plastic surgeon of half the KarJenners for years. He's been practicing for over 20 years. Known for his breast augmentation technique (which favors a more natural-looking teardrop shape over a circular look), he performed the surgery for both Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian. Fisher is also popular for his trademarked "pinnacle facelift," a more customized and minimally invasive facelift that avoids skin looking too pulled-back or pinched. Prior to her viral facelift, Kris Jenner got a pinnacle facelift from Fisher. He also revised a facelift for Caitlyn Jenner prior to her transition, which was shown in an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." Fisher has appeared on "ABC's Extreme Makeover" and has been ranked as one of America's top doctors by Castle Connolly, a healthcare research company. Dr. Steven Levine was behind Kris Jenner's viral facelift View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kylie Cosmetics (@kyliecosmetics) Kris Jenner, 69, is a client of Dr. Steven M. Levine, a New York-based board-certified plastic surgeon who does everything from eyelid lifts to breast implants. He opened his private practice in 2019. A year later, during the pandemic, he was so in demand that some clients offered to pay double or let him stay in their Hamptons home for a month, according to People. While Jenner has been less open than her daughter about the exact procedures she's undergone, some speculate that she had a deep-plane facelift, where a layer of connective tissue between the skin and facial muscles is lifted to provide a more drastic, longer-lasting outcome. While it's unknown how much Jenner paid, Levine told People back in 2020 that his facial work starts at $45,000. Levine has been ranked as one of the top doctors in the NYC area. New York Magazine also named him one of the top doctors for several years in a row. The Kardashians have had mixed plastic surgery experiences The Kardashians haven't always raved about their surgeons' work. Some have regretted past plastic surgery. In a 2023 episode of " The Kardashians," Kylie Jenner said she regretted getting a boob job when she was 19, months before her daughter Stormi was born. She thought she looked "perfect" before and wished she "never got them done to begin with." The KarJenners being more forthcoming about their plastic surgery could be a sign that they're happier with the results. Or, as The Cut speculated, they could be launching a plastic surgery-related venture. "Dr. Levine works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder," Carol Lee, a beauty writer, wrote. "If you know anything about the Kardashians, it's that everything they do is strategic — nothing is an accident."
