Here are spoiler-free clues for NYT Strands #1016, Friday, June 19. The official theme is "Look to the West" — work through the hints before revealing the spangram.
How Strands hints work
Each hint reveals a bit more about the theme and the spangram without naming any answer word. The full list of theme words stays below the fold.
How to crack the spangram
The spangram touches two opposite sides of the board and sums up the whole theme, so it's usually the longest answer. Find a couple of theme words first, ask what links them, then look for a long path that stretches edge to edge.
