It\u2019s more challenging and requires sharp attention to detail.<\/p>\n<p>Just like Wordle, Connections, and the Mini Crossword, some days are trickier than others. There\u2019s no shame in needing a little nudge now and then. If you\u2019re stuck and want to see today\u2019s Strands answers, we\u2019ve got you covered below.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>How to Play Strands<\/h3>\n<p>In each Strands puzzle, your task is to find the \u201ctheme words\u201d hidden in a grid of letters. You can move letters around by dragging or tapping them to form words, and you double-tap the final letter to confirm your selection. When you correctly identify a theme word, those letters will turn blue and can no longer be used.<\/p>\n<p>But finding words outside the theme still has its perks! Every time you discover three non-theme words that are at least four letters long, you\u2019ll get a hint. This hint reveals the letters of one of the theme words, and your job is to unscramble them.<\/p>\n<p>In Strands, every letter in the grid is used to create the theme words, and there\u2019s no overlap\u2014each letter is used just once.<\/p>\n<p>A special feature in every puzzle is the \u201cspangram.\u201d This is a standout theme word that stretches across two opposite sides of the grid and usually helps identify the puzzle\u2019s theme. When you find the spangram, it\u2019ll be highlighted in yellow.<\/p>\n<p>Your goal is to solve the puzzle as quickly as possible, using as few hints as you can.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hint for Today\u2019s Strands Puzzle<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Today\u2019s theme is <strong>\u201cStriking sounds.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a little clue to help you out: <em>For whom the ____.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Today\u2019s NYT Strands Answers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re still stuck, here are today\u2019s answers to help you finish the puzzle:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spangram:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>BELLTONES<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Other Theme Words:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PEAL<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>JINGLE<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>TOLL<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>TINKLE<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>RING<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>CHIME<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>CLANG<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>KNELL<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now you\u2019re all set to tackle today\u2019s Strands puzzle!
