NYT Strands hints and answers for Tuesday, August 11 (game #891)

Today is August 11, 2021, and the New York Times (NYT) has released a new word game called Strands. Strands is the latest addition to the NYT's family of word games, following Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Connections. The game is available on the NYT Games website for both desktop and mobile devices.

To help players navigate Strands, the NYT provides hints and answers for each daily puzzle. For game #891, there are four hints to guide players toward the solution. The theme of today's Strands is "Fresh from the market," which hints at words related to fruits and vegetables. The spangram, a word that spans the entire grid diagonally, has 13 letters and touches the left side of the board on the 5th row and the right side on the 8th row.

Hints for today's Strands puzzle include the words CHEEP, HINTS, CHIVE, COME, and TRACE. Players who can identify these words can unlock the in-game hints system, which provides further assistance in solving the puzzle. The spangram in today's game is SUMMERHARVEST, a phrase related to the theme of fresh produce.

The answers to the NYT Strands puzzle for game #891 are TOMATO, ZUCCHINI, PEPPER, MELON, CORN, and CARROT. ZUCCHINI was particularly challenging for some players, as it was misspelled by many due to its unfamiliar spelling and the double "C." Despite this difficulty, many players found the game easy and scored perfectly.
