Strands Looking for Strands answers for Tuesday, April 21? Check those out below: When you only have five answers to find besides the spangram, you know that it’s going to be a long, windy puzzle and that’s where we are today. 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.

And mine is: Wuzzy the Bear That should be enough to get you started. Spoilers follow with the spangram and the answers in a list after that. The spangram is: GETFUZZY And here’s where that lies on the board: Strands And the answers are: SLIPPERS CATERPILLAR PEACH DUCKLINGS CHENILLE Strands I don’t really like when the spangrams throw a random word in there like “Get Fuzzy” as how are you supposed to know it’s going to do that.
It essentially means you cannot find the spangram first. All of these weren’t just about soft texture, but a specific kind of soft texture, making this harder than others. Most I got but given my limited knowledge of cloth, “chenille’” escaped me, I’ll admit.
