New York Times Looking for Friday’s Strands hints, spangram, and answers? You can find them here: Forbes NYT Strands Hints Today: Friday, October 3 — Spangram, Answers (Who’s In Charge?) By Kris Holt How To Play Strands The New York Times’ Strands puzzle is a variation on the classic word search. It’s in beta for now, which means it’ll only stay around if enough people play it every day. There’s a new Strands puzzle to play each day. The game presents you with a six-by-eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you’ll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You’ll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow. Be warned: You’ll need to be on your toes. “Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,” The New York Times notes. “Just as she varies the difficulty of Wordle puzzles within a week, [Wordle and Strands editor Tracy] Bennett plans to throw Strands solvers curveballs every once in a while.” MORE FOR YOU What Is Today’s Strands Hint?

I had to Google the spelling eventually. Otherwise, do people bring home JEWELRY and… Spoons as souvenirs? Are there souvenir spoons? I mean I guess I’ll take your word for it.
