Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Strands New York Times Looking for Sunday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here . Time to play a new game of Strands to start the weekend. It’s definitely a weird one today, we’ll see how you do.

But first...



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.

It’s still going to be hard though, I think. What Are Today’s Strands Answers? Now we begin the answer portion of the program which is the spangram and the full list, the spangram is: JUGBAND Here’s where that is: Strands NYT And the rest of the answers: SPOONS COWBELL BROOM WASHBOARD STOVEPIPE BONES Strands NYT Alright so uh, I understand this kind of band exists, but I sure didn’t know all the instruments involved, so this was pretty hard. I got WASHBOARD and SPOONS and COWBELL is forever from SNL, but everything else? No clue that these kind of bands used STOVEPIPEs, BONES or BROOMs.

How do you play a broom. Do you put strings on it and turn it into a guitar or something. I even had to look up the term Jug Band as I didn’t know that’s what this was called.
