Game #221 (Thursday, October 10 2024) – NYT Strands: Hints, Spangram, and Answers

Need help with ⁤NYT Strands today? The theme for Strands⁤ #221 is “Think about it.”⁤ Here are‍ some hints and answers to assist you. The official theme is “Think about‍ it,” and an unofficial hint is “This is getting quite meta.” If you’re still​ unsure, here are some clue tokens: GROSS, MASS, BLUE, ​SWAM, MUMBLE, GROW, DIES. If‍ you’re struggling, the connection word starts with ‌’P’ and ends with ‘S.’ Now for the ‍answers:‍ CROSSWORD, MAZE, JIGSAW, JUMBLE, SUDOKU, CRYPTOGRAM.​ The spangram was PUZZLES. Today’s Strands puzzle was relatively easy due to the two ‘Z’s in the middle of the board. Puzzles was a familiar topic for regular players of Strands and Wordle. I found CROSSWORD in the top-right corner but couldn’t decode anything to its left immediately. ‌Moving on to the‌ bottom⁣ half of the board revealed MAZE and JIGSAW connected⁣ to form a path for JUMBLE. SUDOKU completed the‍ bottom half while CRYPTOGRAM finished off the top left section after some head scratching. Yesterday’s Strands answers can be found in yesterday’s article for ​game #220 if you missed it.
