NYT Strands hints and answers for Monday, October 12 (game #953)

Today's NYT Strands puzzle, game #953, features the theme "In a manner of speaking." To unlock the in-game hints system, players can use any of these clue words: SLING, RANGER, FOUL, GONE, LONG, or RACON. The spangram in today's puzzle has 12 letters. The spangram touches two sides of the board: the left side in the 8th row and the right side in the 4th row.

The answers to today's Strands puzzle are PARLANCE, JARGON, VERNACULAR, LINGO, DIALECT, and SPANGRAM: TURNOFPHRASE. The author rated the puzzle as easy and achieved a perfect score, mentioning that the spangram took a turn across the board, and they were surprised to find the word "DIALECT" on the board, given their expectation for the word "SLANG."

Yesterday's NYT Strands answers included PAGER, ICEBOX, INKWELL, TYPEWRITER, TELEGRAM, and SPANGRAM: OLDFASHIONED.
