Today's NYT Strands hints and answers Looking for Tuesday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: It’s Wednesday, splitting the work week right down the middle. It’s also a lovely, warm, balmy spring Wednesday. I need to get off the computer and get outside as quickly as possible! Let’s get right down to brass tacks and uncover some words in today’s Strands puzzle.
Strands is the newest game in the New York Times’ stable of puzzle games. It’s a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we’re given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board.
One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day’s theme. Spoilers ahead. Read on for today’s theme and some hints to help you uncover today’s words.
Instead of giving you the first two letters of each word, today I’m giving out three hints instead of two. Today’s Theme: That’s quite a (tasty) mouthful. FEATURED | Frase By Forbes TM Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Hint : Fruits and veggies.
Clue: Long words. Here are the first two letters of each of today’s words: WA AV CA AR FO Remember, spoilers ahead! Today’s spangram is: FOURSYLLABLES Here’s the full list of words: WATERMELON AVOCADO CAULIFLOWER ARUGULA Here’s the completed Strands grid: Today's Strands This is a clever puzzle because it’s both a great clue in the theme and slightly misleading. After I found my first word, I thought for sure the theme had something to do with salads.
But after I’d found both WATERMELON and AVOCADO I wasn’t sure. It turns out, the veggies and fruit were misleading. Each of these words has FOURSYLLABLES (the spangram).
