Today’s NYT Strands Hints, Answers and Help for July 30 #879
Today’s Strands puzzle is a fun one, with an interesting theme and fairly easy-to-find clues. If you need hints and answers, read on.
Hint for today’s Strands puzzle
Today’s Strands theme is: Trade names.
If that doesn’t help you, here’s a clue: Skilled workers.
Clue words to unlock in-game hints
Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints, but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:
- ROPE, POOR, MATS, HEAT, NEAT, THIN, ROAST, TOPS, SPOT, COOP, TEAR, TAPE, TAPS
These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of them (I originally thought there were always eight, but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:
- MASON, SMITH, COOPER, JOINER, TANNER, POTTER, WEAVER
Today’s Strands spangram
Today’s Strands spangram is ARTISANS. To find it, start with the A that’s the first letter on the top row, and wind down and then up.
Toughest Strands puzzles
Here are some of the Strands topics I’ve found to be the toughest.
#1: Dated slang. Maybe you didn’t even use this lingo when it was cool. Toughest word: PHAT.
#2: Thar she blows! I guess marine biologists might ace this one. Toughest word: BALEEN or RIGHT.
#3: Off the hook. Again, it helps to know a lot about sea creatures. Sorry, Charlie. Toughest word: BIGEYE or SKIPJACK.
