Looking for Wednesday\u2019s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:<\/em><\/p>\n Forbes<\/span>Today\u2019s NYT Strands Hints, Spangram, Answers: Wednesday, June 17 (In The Barnyard)<\/span>By Paul Tassi<\/span><\/small><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s an undersea adventure for Strands today, though with such a broad category, it\u2019s a lot of words to hunt down.<\/p>\n The New York Times\u2019 Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It\u2019s in beta for now, which means it\u2019ll only stick around if enough people play it every day.<\/p>\n 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 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 Be warned: You\u2019ll need to be on your toes.<\/p>\n \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 Play Puzzles & Games on Forbes<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n Time to do the NYT hint and then my own hint after that:<\/p>\n Beneath the waves<\/strong><\/p>\n And mine is:<\/p>\n Not only fish<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/section>\n Here are the first two letters of all the words if you don\u2019t want the entire thing just yet.<\/p>\n 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 CORALREEF<\/strong><\/p>\n Here it is on the page, and read on:<\/p>\n The answers are:<\/p>\n While I know that the spangram here is Coral Reef, this is essentially anything that you might find in the ocean, so it\u2019s a rather broad category. We\u2019ve got everything from plants to crustaceans to fish and fish with very sharp teeth. No whales, however. Maybe they don\u2019t want to get too close to coral reefs and end up smashing through them.<\/p>\n Follow me <\/strong><\/em>on Twitter<\/u><\/strong><\/em><\/a>, <\/strong><\/em>YouTube<\/u><\/strong><\/em><\/a>,<\/u><\/strong><\/em><\/a> and <\/strong><\/em>Instagram<\/u><\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the <\/strong><\/em>Herokiller series<\/u><\/strong><\/em><\/a> and <\/strong><\/em>The Earthborn Trilogy<\/u><\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\nHow To Play Strands<\/h2>\n
