Today’s NYT ‘Strands’ Hints, Spangram And Answers For Wednesday, September 18

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

Hey, folks! We’re halfway through the week, and you know what that means… There’s another Strands grid to check out, of course.

Today’s NYT Strands hints, spangram and answers are coming right up.

How To Play Strands

The New York Times’ Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s now available in the NYT Games app alongside the likes of Wordle and Connections (which we also cover in daily guides on Forbes Games).

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 at least two sides of the board, but it may not start or end there. 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?

Scroll slowly! Just after the hint for today’s Strands puzzle, I’ll reveal what the answer words are.

The official theme hint for today’s Strand puzzle is…

Before I reveal the other the full word list, I’ll first tell you the spangram and show you where that is on the grid.

This is your final spoiler warning!

Today’s Strands spangram is…

TOOL CHEST

Here’s where you’ll find it on the grid…

The rest of today’s Strands theme words are…

  • SCREWDRIVER
  • PLIERS
  • HAMMER
  • WRENCH
  • LEVEL
  • KNIFE

Here’s what the completed grid looks like…

I found KNIFE, LEVEL and WRENCH pretty quickly, which revealed the outline of the spangram. It didn’t take much longer for me to track down HAMMER, SCREWDRIVER and PLIERS.

I didn’t use any hints and the spangram was the fourth theme word I found.

That’s all there is to it for today’s Strands clues and answers. Be sure to check my blog for hints and the solution for Thursday’s game if you need them.
