Looking for NYT Strands answers and hints? Here's all you need to know to solve today's game, including the spangram.
Looking for today's NYT Strands hints and answers? You've come to the right place. The latest game, number #895, is available on the New York Times Games site. Spoiler alert: do not read further if you wish to avoid knowing the answers.
Today's theme is "Sacred space," a fitting topic for a game that revolves around churchy words and phrases. To help you get started, here are some clue words that will unlock the in-game hints system: BASE, PULP, CLAN, SELL, and CHIP.
One of the spangram letters in today's puzzle consists of 8 letters. The spangram, a word that spans the entire grid, touches two sides of the board: the left side, 5th row, and the right side, also 5th row. Now that you have the basics, let's reveal the answers:
PULPIT, BIBLE, ALTAR, HYMNAL, CANDLES, LECTERN. The spangram is INCHURCH. While the game focuses on religious terminology, it's worth noting that the author loves stained glass windows, which they believe should be more widely appreciated and visible.
My rating for today's Strands game is easy, and I achieved a perfect score. The puzzle flowed smoothly, making it a pleasant challenge for the day. Yesterday's answers, for comparison, were SLINKY, VELCRO, PLASTIC, MICROWAVE, PENICILLIN, with a spangram of INVENTIONS.
