New NYT game - STRANDS

[Bo Diddley]

I missed the part that the spangram could be two words.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Getting the hang of this. Solved today's puzzle in 3-4 minutes. No hints, no wrong words.

[Bo Diddley]

Fastest I've solved it. It was easy once I figured out what the category was.

Man. I stared at that thing forever before I figured out one word. Then they all felt like dominoes.

Is this in the app for anyone or just on the NY Times site?

Just on the website

Kind of an easier one today, and now no more games to break up my work day.

I am bad at this even when I figure out half the words and the theme

[Bo Diddley]

I had to Google how to spell two of those words today.

I play this most days. I think the "Hint" feature makes it too easy. I try to do it without hints, but if I am rushed, I will often go ahead and get one, after which I usually solve pretty quickly. I would like to see some tweak that would allow some sort of hint that is either more difficult to get or doesn't give away so much.

I don't know if I got lucky today or if it was extraordinarily easy, but I saw mustard as soon as the puzzle came up, which made the category pretty easy, and it took less than two minutes to get everything.

I never use the hints. That makes it way too easy.

I have found that it can be challenging until you get 1-2 words then everything pops out.

Fun game. I like it a lot.

I got aioli first since it was used in Connections.

Same. Yeah, this is probably my favorite NYT game right now.

It was Ketchup that instantly jumped out for me today. I wish they initially hid "Today's Theme" and that was the first hint you could get.

I don't use hints otherwise.

By far the quickest I’ve completed the game today. I didn’t time it but I’m sure it was less than a minute. Might have been under 30 seconds.
