ForbesToday’s NYT Strands Hints, Spangram, Answers: Monday, July 27 (Let The Journey Begin)By Paul Tassi

Weird thing to brag about but this is the fastest I’ve hunted down hints in my life in a Strands puzzle for whatever reason.

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.”

The answers:

I did not find any of these words naturally, but I was getting a hint found every 4-5 seconds, which made the puzzle go fast. I mean I even got “Undead” as a hint. How does that happen? The puzzle itself is a bit of a dull theme, but at least they’re all words that we actually know in the end.
