NYT Strands hints and answers for Tuesday, August 4 (game #884)

NYT Strands, the latest word game from The New York Times, featured its fourth puzzle on Tuesday, August 4 (game #884). The theme for this particular edition was "staying healthy." Players were provided with various clue words to aid in solving the puzzle, including THIN LINE, ZINC, CORE, FORMAT, CRAM, and FILLER. Among these, SPANGRAM - an 8-letter word - was a key element to unraveling the game.

The spangram spanned across two sides of the board, intersecting the top third column on the left and the bottom fourth column on the right.

The answers to today's Strands puzzle included REFILL, CONSULT, IMMUNIZATION, MEDICINE, and COUNTER. One player struggled to find any non-game words, ultimately taking hints along the way. They initially received REFILL, which seemed to confuse the theme of "staying healthy." With CONSULT, they experienced further frustration, but a different approach using the letter Z led them to successfully solve the puzzle, revealing the theme and the spangram "PHARMACY."
