NYT Strands hints and answers for Wednesday, October 14 (game #955)

Looking for hints and answers for today's NYT Strands puzzle? You've come to the right place. Strands is the New York Times' latest word game, following in the footsteps of Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Connections. It can be challenging, but with these hints, you'll be well on your way to success.

Today's theme is folk and fairy tale twosomes. This means that the words you'll be working with are paired up to represent famous stories from folklore and fairy tales. Here are the clue words for today:

CANE

TINT

METER

SHARE

TROT

STEM

TROOP

By playing any of these words, you can unlock the in-game hints system, which will help guide you to the correct answers.

There is one spangram in today's puzzle, consisting of 13 letters. The spangram touches two sides of the board: the left side in the 7th row and the bottom side in the 2nd column. The spangram is ONCEUPONATIME.

The answers to today's Strands puzzle are:

BEAUTY

BEAST

FROG

PRINCESS

TORTOISE

HAIR

SPANGRAM: ONCEUPONATIME

In my opinion, today's game was relatively easy and I achieved a perfect score. The theme and spangram made it simple for me to understand the connections between the words. One of my favorite fairy tales is "The Tortoise and the Hare," so I particularly enjoyed this theme.
