You create words by dragging your finger or tapping letters in sequence. Once you form a word, double-tap the last letter to confirm it. If the word is one of the theme words, it\u2019ll be highlighted in blue and those letters can\u2019t be used again.<\/p>\n<p>But even if you stumble upon a word that isn\u2019t part of the theme, it\u2019s still useful! For every three non-theme words you find that are at least four letters long, you\u2019ll earn a hint. The hint reveals letters from one of the theme words, and you\u2019ll just need to unscramble it.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a twist: every single letter in the grid is part of a theme word, and no letter is used more than once. Plus, each puzzle includes one extra-special word called a \u201cspangram.\u201d The spangram is a word (or words) that describes the puzzle\u2019s theme and stretches across two opposite sides of the grid. When you find it, it\u2019ll be highlighted in yellow.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge is to solve the puzzle quickly and with as few hints as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Hint for Today\u2019s NYT Strands Puzzle<\/h3>\n<p>Today\u2019s theme is \u201cI\u2019ve got the music in me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a clue to help: Think about where you\u2019d go to watch a musical performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Today\u2019s Spangram<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re stuck, here\u2019s the spangram to give you a leg up:<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONCERTVENUE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Today\u2019s NYT Strands Answers<\/h3>\n<p>If you need a full rundown, here are today\u2019s theme words:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ARENA<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>STADIUM<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>THEATER<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>FESTIVAL<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>NIGHTCLUB<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Strands can be tricky, but now you\u2019ve got everything you need to crack today\u2019s puzzle!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Strands is a fresh, daily brain teaser from the New York Times, and it\u2019s like a more challenging version of\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":53061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[14314],"class_list":["post-53060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","tag-nyt-strands"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53060\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
