NYT Strands hints, answers for October 6, 2026
The NYT Strands hints and answers you need to make the most of your puzzling experience.
The New York Times' Strands game offered hints for October 6, 2026, with words related to changing course and shifting up. The words could be connected in any direction, creating unusual patterns. Every letter in the grid was part of a solution. There was always a theme tying the answers together, as well as a spangram, a word or phrase that summed up the day's theme and spanned the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
The hint suggested the spangram was either vertical or horizontal, and it turned out to be vertical. Today's spangram was "The Old Switcheroo."
