Today\u2019s Strands was quite the challenge and even after finding five of the seven words I still had to use a hint to get me over the line. I had spotted \u201chole\u201d and put it in my list of non-game words but neglected to see the word \u201cpigeon\u201d before it.<\/p>\n It had all started so well \u2013 after spying NOOK I just knew that the puzzle had to contain CRANNY and so it proved. CREVICE came next, which reminded me of the time I looked down a mile-deep crevice while snowmobiling in Iceland. That\u2019s another digression, but let’s just say on that occasion I really did MIND THE GAP.<\/p>\n Yesterday’s NYT Strands answers (Sunday, September 21, game #567)FORTIFYSUPPORTCOMFORTBOLSTERSTRENGTHENSPANGRAM: SOLIDARITYWhat is NYT Strands?<\/p>\n Strands is the NYT’s not-so-new-any-more word game, following Wordle and Connections.
