Move over Wordle, Connections, Connections Sports Edition, and Mini Crossword, there’s a new NYT word game in town! The New York Times’s latest game, “Strands,” is gaining popularity as another daily activity for fans on the NYT website and app.
With daily themes and “spangrams” to uncover, Strands is the newest addictive game to add to your daily routine before a new challenge arises 24 hours later.
This new game challenges players to find theme words to fill the board, with the words staying highlighted in blue once discovered. Players must drag or tap letters to create words, ensuring that no theme words overlap on the board. Additionally, players must find the “spangram,” a puzzle theme that touches two opposite sides of the board and is highlighted in yellow once found.
If players need a hint, they can find non-theme words to earn hints. For every three non-theme words found, a hint is earned, revealing the letters of a theme word to provide assistance.
Today’s Strands challenge hints at PG-rated interjections, with six theme words to uncover, including the spangram. Can you guess the first two letters of each word?
The spangram for today’s game is a mix of vertical and horizontal answers, with the correct answer being “FOILEDAGAIN.”
Today’s theme words include “CURSES,” “DRATS,” “FIDDLESTICKS,” “PHOOEY,” and “TARNATION,” along with the spangram “FOILEDAGAIN.”
