I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Tuesday’s Strands is the one I finished faster than any other, but if you’re here you might need a little help with it, it seems. Which is totally fine!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.“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.
NYT hint first, then my hint afterward, which I think will be a little more of a boost for you. Here’s the official hint.Spangram first, then we will move into the full list of answers below that. Spoilers follow from here. The spangram is:Long words, so there are only five of them today. I finished this in under a minute with no hints, which almost never happens. I am surprised considering I don’t think I’ve used any of things in 20 years, relics of a paper book era.
I was looking for ENCYCLOPEDIA but we only have so many spaces on the board and that was probably too big.
