ForbesToday’s NYT Strands Hints, Spangram, Answers: Tuesday, June 16 (For Here Or To Go)
Put on your overalls and head out to the barn for today’s Strands puzzle that will test your knowledge of the location.
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.”

Absolutely got thrown here because the first thing I saw was HORSE and then HORSES and they were not answers to a clue about a barn, which was very confusing. But eventually I realized it was SAWHORSES, though you could probably see my confusion. I like WHEELBARROW being a full spiral, always a neat trick here.
