Strands is the NYT's latest word game after the likes of , Spelling Bee and Connections – and it's great fun. It can be difficult, though, so read on for my Strands hints. Want more word-based fun? Then check out my , and pages for hints and answers for those games.
Play any of these words to unlock the in-game hints system. Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM. The answers to today's Strands, game #257, are.
.. I'm not a fan of salad and very rarely eat it, but even I was able to solve today's easy Strands puzzle.
I needed one hint to get started, admittedly, because the theme clue of 'Dress for lunch' was just a bit too far on the cryptic side. Strands is a little variable in this regard; some days the theme clues give the game away, some days they are only really helpful once you've used up a hint (or found an answer by accident). That's a hard thing to get right, though, and in fairness it was a simple task to find the likes of ICEBERG, ROMAINE, WATERCRESS and RADICCHIO once I had KALE on the board; even if you don't eat these SALADGREENS you'll surely recognize the names.
How did you do today? and let me know..
