Strands Looking for Strands answers for Monday, April 21? Check those out below: Ready for a Strands puzzle to make you hungry? Well that’s going to probably happen today, so hopefully you had your breakfast. The New York Times’ Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s in beta for now, which means it’ll only stick around if enough people play it every day.
There’s a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present 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.

I feel like I don’t usually get soup at a cafe, but most will serve it, I suppose. Perhaps I’m leaning too far into Starbucks and not enough into true cafes.
Other than that, thanks to Sabrina Carpenter and her song of the summer, I knew how to spell espresso easily which may not have happened before this. Follow me on Twitter , YouTube , and Instagram . Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy .
