Yeah, this was a weird Strands. EMOJIS is an easy word to pick out and then counting the words left and the number of emoji was extremely straightforward. Not quite like the time Connections went with emoji.
I spotted GARDEN pretty quickly and that put me on the right track. I knew it had to be the spanagram but it took finding the rest of the words below it before I was able to identify the start.
It was the same for me. Once I spotted THYME the spanagram and everything else showed up pretty quick. For whatever reason though, I was staring stupidly at the puzzle for a long time before that.

The one thing I do appreciate about the hints page is it gives you an estimated difficulty score. Today's scored harder than yesterday's (3 vs 2.4) but I found this one similarly easy.

The answer came to mind first, but I didn’t want to waste a letter with two Ts. In the end I couldn’t think of anything else and figured at least T is a common letter.

Estimated difficulty: 1.6/5. Yeah, that tracks.
I said I hadn't seen it, and I still don't see it. Where is that thing?
The light bulb icon next to the question mark for help. NYT popped up a tip pointing it out two days in a row but hasn't since for me. Clicking it takes you to "The Connections Companion" for that game and that has the estimated difficulty along with optional hints for each color.
Huh. I don't have that on my connection (heh). I could find it in a web search though. Tomorrow's is already up.
I've actually used GROAN maybe three times in the past couple weeks. It's become a goto whenever AISLE only results in an A. Wasn't expecting that burst of color today though.
I got all of the outer words done and eventually realized the remaining two words covered the entire inside. Knowing the constraints of the spangram finally helped me connect BEACH to the full phrase.

Including this one because I like the strands that allow solving in multiple ways. There's KAPPA today and another was like that a few days ago.
