Looking for Tuesday Strands tips, spangrams, and answers? You can find them here:
I’ve had a tough week with Strands puzzles so far, and even if my solving times are a little off, this might not make things any easier.
How to play with strands
New York Times strand The puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s currently in beta, so it will only survive if enough people play it every day.
there’s a new game strand To play every day. The game displays a 6 x 8 grid of letters. The objective is to find groups of words that have something in common. That way you’ll know what the theme is. When you find a theme word, it will be highlighted in blue.
You will also need to find special words called spangrams. By doing this, you can see what the words have in common. A spangram links two opposite sides of the board. Theme words are not proper nouns, but spangrams are. If a spangram is found, it will remain highlighted in yellow.
All characters are used once in either theme words or spangrams. You can connect letters vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and you can even 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 four or more letters that are not part of your theme,[ヒント]The button will be unlocked. Clicking this will highlight the letters that make up the theme word.
Remember: You need to be on your toes at all times. In some cases, you may need to fill in the missing words in a phrase. Other days, the game revolves around synonyms and homophones. The difficulty level varies from day to day and the puzzle creator tries to surprise you from time to time.

And here is the list of answers:
- wheel
- ballerina
- pin wheel
- football
- earth
- dryer
That said, many things that rotate, rotate, or rotate in some way, like the spiral in soccer, are completely different from the ones on this list, mostly in different ways. I think what people are having the most trouble with is the windmills and ballerinas that are currently using windmills. Ballerina is more obvious, but not what you’re looking for.
