ForbesNYT Strands Hints Today: Tuesday, April 28 Clues And Answers (Attention, Attention!)
Hey, folks! Today’s NYT Strands hints, spangram and answers for Wednesday, April 29 are coming right up.
The New York Times’ Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s available on the NYT website and in the NYT Games app alongside the likes of Wordle and Connections (which we also cover in daily guides at Forbes Gaming).
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 at least two sides of the board, but it may not start or end there. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow.
Every letter is used once in the theme words and spangram. You can connect letters vertically, horizontally and diagonally, and it’s possible to switch directions in the middle of a word. If you’re playing on a touchscreen, double tap the last letter to submit your guess.
If you find three valid words of at least four letters that are not part of the theme, you’ll unlock the Hint button. Clicking this will highlight the letters that make up one of the theme words.
Scroll slowly! Just after the hint for today’s Strands puzzle, I’ll reveal what the first two letters for the spangram and the other words are.
The official theme hint for today’s Strands puzzle is...
