New York Times Looking for Tuesday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: ForbesNYT 'Strands' Hints, Spangram and Answers for Tuesday, October 7 by Paul Tassi. Listen up, audiophiles. Today's Strands puzzle is specifically for you, and the rest of us will have to make do with our more limited knowledge and a bunch of hints. How To Play Strands The New York Times' Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s in beta for now, which means it’ll only stick around if enough people play it every day. There’s a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you’ll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You’ll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow. Be warned: You’ll need to be on your toes. Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones. The New York Times notes. Just as she varies the difficulty of Wordle puzzles within a week, Wordle and Strands editor Tracy Bennett plans to throw Strands solvers curveballs every once in a while.
