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.
It’s the Fourth of July, and I wondered if Strands was going to take the day off. Well, it didn’t, and instead made a Fourth of July themed puzzle instead.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.
Spoilers begin as we talk about the answers starting with the spangram and then the full list after that. The spangram isYeah that about covers it. That is easily the longest, most winding spangram I’ve ever seen, snaking around the board. I tried INDEPENDENCE by itself first but that just gave me a piece of a hint.
This one is generally pretty easy. Obviously FIREWORKS were going to be in there. PARADE, FLAG, PICNIC, essentially zero surprises. So I guess they’re sort of giving us the day off with how easy this one was.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
