I love with Strands how you can go from feeling utterly clueless to suddenly clearing the board in 30 seconds flat.
That was my experience today, as I struggled to get going and instead found dozens of non-game words.
A hint word of IDEA opened things up and from there I saw THOUGHT, then worked backward from the letters I-N-G to find the spangram. All in all, a nice little workout for the brain — but far from BRAINSTORMING.

The answers to today's Strands, game #884, are…
Struggling to find anything but non-game words, I took a hint and was given REFILL — a word that, rather than help me understand the theme of “staying healthy”, confused me.
Looking for clarity, I took another hint with CONSULT — and that just sent me deeper into bafflement.
