It\u2019s in beta for now, which means it\u2019ll only stick around if enough people play it every day.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s 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\u2019ll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n<p>Be warned: You\u2019ll need to be on your toes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome 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,\u201d The New York Times notes. \u201cJust 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Play Puzzles &amp; Games on Forbes<\/p>\n<p>What Is Today\u2019s Strands Hint?<\/p>\n<p>Time to do the NYT hint and then my own hint after that:<\/p>\n<p>All knowing<\/p>\n<p>And mine is:<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll want to consult them<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s NYT Strands Opening Letters<\/p>\n<p>Here are the first two letters of all the words if you don\u2019t want the entire thing just yet.<\/p>\n<p>What Are Today\u2019s Strands Answers?<\/p>\n<p>Now we begin the answer portion of the program which is the spangram and the full list of the other answers, the spangram is:<\/p>\n<p>BIGBRAIN<\/p>\n<p>Here it is on the page, and read on:<\/p>\n<p>The answers:<\/p>\n<p>PUNDITEXPERTSPECIALISTMAVENAUTHORITYGURU<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes a Strands being hard doesn\u2019t have to do with weird words, but sometimes just the length of words and how you would never think to look for them in the first place. Yes, I know what an authority and specialist are, but even knowing the theme here, pretty hard to pick those letters out of a jumbe in the right order, that\u2019s for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Follow me <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" aria-label=\"on Twitter\">on Twitter<\/a>, <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" aria-label=\"YouTube\">YouTube<\/a><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" aria-label=\",\">,<\/a> and <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" aria-label=\"Instagram\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pick up my sci-fi novels the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" aria-label=\"Herokiller series\">Herokiller series<\/a> and <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" aria-label=\"The Earthborn Trilogy\">The Earthborn Trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Looking for Saturday\u2019s Strands hints, spangram and answers?
