It\u2019s in beta for now, which means it\u2019ll only stick around if enough people play it every day.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s 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\u2019ll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n<p>Be warned: You\u2019ll need to be on your toes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome 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,\u201d The New York Times notes. \u201cJust 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"what-todays-strands-hint\">\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed\">What Is Today\u2019s Strands Hint?<\/h2>\n<p>Time to do the NYT hint and then my own hint after that:<\/p>\n<p><strong>E-I-E-I-O<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And mine is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here here and there t here<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"todays-nyt-strands-opening-letters\">\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed\">Today\u2019s NYT Strands Opening Letters<\/h2>\n<p>Here are the first two letters of all the words if you don\u2019t want the entire thing just yet.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"what-are-todays-strands-answers\">\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed\">What Are Today\u2019s Strands Answers?<\/h2>\n<p>Now we begin the answer portion of the program which is the spangram and the full list of the other answers, the spangram is:<\/p>\n<p><strong>FARMANIMALS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here it is on the page, and read on:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-3\" role=\"presentation\"\/>\n<p>The answers are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e0972f58a85eb20efb05b3c50825ca39a\">COWS<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"eeea1190381648e79548e2c8e518736d5\">GOATS<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e553bff36cec580d9843ee1212415ba9f\">SHEEP<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e131ebb665810a1fcb1985006ecd92cda\">HORSES<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"e03946d82cd64aa942be831df09be7938\">CHICKENS<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"efa4c98f545053b922536a449a89ace31\">PIGS<\/li>\n<li data-list-item-id=\"ecc9004566e6c6a8ee890adf7b36b8855\">DUCKS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-4\" role=\"presentation\"\/>\n<p>I mean, come on.
