"NYT Strands: Hints, Spangram, and Answers for April 7-9"

The New York Times' Strands puzzle is a daily word search game with a twist, where players must find words related to a common theme and a special word called a spangram. Today's theme was NFL team names, with the spangram being "TEAMPLAYERS." The answers included COWBOY, DOLPHIN, RAVEN, PATRIOT, TITAN, and PANTHER, all missing the "S" that normally sits at the end of their names. The puzzle creator found the difficulty level to be balanced between hard and easy, and provided hints for players.
