NYT ‘Strands’ Hints, Spangram And Answers For Thursday, December 19

Looking for Wednesday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:

I hope you really know a good amount about a specific type of music today, as you are definitely going to need it for Thursday’s Strands.

How To Play Strands

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. 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.

Every letter is used once in one of the theme words and spangram. You can connect letters vertically, horizontally and diagonally, and it’s possible to switch directions in the middle of a word. If you’re playing on a touchscreen, double tap the last letter to submit your guess.

If you find three valid words of at least four letters that are not part of the theme, you’ll unlock the Hint button. Clicking this will highlight the letters that make up one of the theme words.

Be warned: You’ll need to be on your toes. Sometimes you’ll need to fill the missing word(s) in a phrase. On other days, the game may revolve around synonyms or homophones. The difficulty will vary from day to day, and the puzzle creators will try to surprise you sometimes.

What Is Today’s Strands Hint?

The NYT hint will give you a bit of info, and then I will give you a bit more with a hint of my own:

Roll with It

And my hint is:

Playing the classics

What Are Today’s Strands Answers?

We will start with the spangram of the day, and then move on to the answer list below that. The spangram is:

ROCKING

And here is where you find that on the board:

And the answer list is:

  • METAL
  • PROGRESSIVE
  • GLAM
  • ALTERNATIVE
  • GRUNGE
  • PUNK

Granted I do know all of these, but in the moment, connecting pretty large strings of letters together like PROGRESSIVE and ALTERNATIVE was not the easiest. My favorite genre of all these? I’m going to say Alt, which is what I grew up with. I have a special place in my heart for some Glam rock too though. What about you?

Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
