Strands puzzle #877 lands on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, with the theme “Leave nothing out.” The idea is completeness, and the grid is stacked with everyday synonyms for something that has every part in place. If you want to solve it with a light touch, start with the letter nudges below and only scroll to the reveal when you are ready.
Quick answer: The spangram is ITSALLTHERE. The six theme words are COMPLETE, ENTIRE, FULL, TOTAL, UNDIVIDED, and WHOLE.
Note: Spoilers build from lightest to heaviest below. Letter hints and clue words come first, and the full answer list sits further down, so stop scrolling whenever you have enough of a push.
Spoiler-light hints for Strands #877
There are seven words to find in total, including the spangram. Every one of them describes the same idea, that nothing is missing. If the concept clicks but the letters do not, the first-letter and length pattern below usually breaks the grid open.
| Word | First letter | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Theme word | C | 8 letters |
| Theme word | E | 6 letters |
| Theme word | F | 4 letters |
| Theme word | T | 5 letters |
| Theme word | U | 9 letters |
| Theme word | W | 5 letters |
| Spangram | I | 11 letters |
Grid positions help too. Ignoring the spangram, two theme words begin at the left edge of the board and four begin somewhere in the middle. The spangram itself reads roughly horizontally from one side to the other, which fits the theme of everything being present at once.

Strands #877 spangram
The spangram is the long entry that touches both sides of the board and sums up the theme in one phrase. Today it is ITSALLTHERE. To trace it, look for the I sitting a few rows down on the far-left column, then wind across and back toward the other edge.
All Strands answers for July 28, 2026
Here is the full solution set. Every theme word is another way to say that nothing has been left out, which is exactly what the spangram promises.
| Answer | Length | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| FULL | 4 | Packed to capacity, nothing left to add |
| TOTAL | 5 | The whole amount counted together |
| WHOLE | 5 | Intact from one end to the other |
| ENTIRE | 6 | Unbroken and taken as one piece |
| COMPLETE | 8 | Finished with no missing parts |
| UNDIVIDED | 9 | Kept together rather than split apart |
| ITSALLTHERE | 11 | Spangram tying the whole theme together |
Why the theme plays easy
The concept here is plain English. Once you read “Leave nothing out,” you are already thinking about words for something intact with no gaps. That makes the mental step short, and the short entries such as FULL, TOTAL, and WHOLE tend to fall almost immediately.
The friction is in the sheer number of ways English expresses “all of it.” When several synonyms fit the theme, the challenge shifts from understanding the idea to spotting where each word bends across the grid. UNDIVIDED is the usual holdout, because at nine letters it is longer and less obvious than the rest.
A fast way to clear the board
Common traps to avoid
- Chasing near-synonyms that are not in the set, such as ALL or SOLID. The grid only holds the six theme words plus the spangram.
- Assuming there are eight words. This board has seven, so stop hunting once the tracker fills.
- Expecting straight rows. Missing UNDIVIDED usually comes from not following its bends across multiple rows.
- Burning hints too early. Spend them when the board truly stalls, since one reveal often cascades into the rest.
