Welcome back to Monday, Strands players! I call Wordle solvers “Wordlers” but I guess we don’t have a word for Strands players. “The Stranded” sounds a little bleak, though sometimes playing this game I feel a little stranded. Stranders perhaps?
In any case, today’s puzzle was very tricky and it took me quite a while to figure it out, though I suppose there will be a certain segment of the population that gets it right away. It’s all about context. Isn’t it always?The New York Times’ Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s in beta for now, which means it’ll only stick around if enough people play it every day.
There’s 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’ll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue.You’ll 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.
I got “Virgin” and then I was even more confused. It wasn’t until I stumbled on “OLOGY” that I made any real headway. At that point I was looking for anything that could fit at the beginning of that word. ONTOLOGY didn’t work. At last I spotted it:Suddenly all the previous words made sense. They were all constellations! I found “archer” next and then “twins” and finally “scorpion” though that last one gave me a tough time.

22 of the funniest novels since ‘Catch-22′When it comes to fiction, humor is serious business.
