Today’s NYT ‘Strands’ Hints, Spangram and Answers for Wednesday, August 6 originally appeared on Parade. Move over, Wordle, Connections and Mini Crossword—there's a new NYT word game in town! The New York Times's recent game, "Strands," is becoming more and more popular as another daily activity fans can find on the NYT website and app.

Strands is the NYT's not-so-new-any-more word game, following Wordle and Connections. It's now a fully fledged member of the NYT's games stable that has been running for a year and which can be played on the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

As Wordle continues its streak of popularity and Connections grows in daily visibility, NYT Strands Today has quietly but steadily carved out a loyal following. Its emphasis on thematic reasoning and cognitive intuition appeals to those who enjoy wordplay with a touch of mystery.
