The gameplay of The New York Times’ Strands revolves around finding words or phrases relating to the topic mentioned, all within the given letter grid. To figure out what the theme’s true meaning is, you‘ll need to find the Spangram, which will point toward the actual definition of the theme. Most likely, it will be a phrase or word, like DC villains or sandwiches. Both before and after you find the Spangram, you can find words that relate to the overall theme, so, in the case of DC villains, potential words would be villains from DC Comics like Lex Luthor or Joker.
