NYT ‘Strands' Today: Hints, Spangram And Answers For Wednesday, June 4th
Today's NYT Strands hints and answers Credit: New York Times Looking for Tuesday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: Hello dearest Strandistarians. I'm once again taking over for my colleague Paul Tassi today in our quest to uncover words in your daily Strands puzzle. Strands is the newest game in the New York Times' stable of puzzle games. It's a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we're given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day's theme. Spoilers ahead. Read on for today's theme and some hints to help you uncover today's words. Instead of giving you the first two letters of each word, today I'm giving out three hints instead of two. Today's Theme: Monster quest Hint: Sasquatch type beasts. Clue: Nessie, for instance. Here are the first two letters of each of today's words: Remember, spoilers ahead! Today's spangram is: CRYPTIDS Here's the full list of words: Here's the completed Strands grid: Today's Strands Screenshot: Erik Kain Cryptids—today's spangram—are species that are rumored to exist but cannot be proven scientifically. It's possible that a KRAKEN is somewhere in the depths of the ocean, however unlikely, or that BIGFOOT roams the wilderness, perhaps befriending a JACKALOPE or two. I got a couple of these pretty quickly, but was pretty stumped for awhile. YETI wasn't too bad, but even though I suspected JACKALOPE it took me a good bit to find it as well as MOTHMAN. How did you do on your Strands today? Let me know on Twitter and Facebook. Be sure to check out my blog for my daily Wordle guides as well as all my other writing about TV shows, streaming guides, movie reviews, video game coverage and much more. Thanks for stopping by!

George Clooney Reveals Why He Hates His Good Night, And Good Luck Hairstyle
George Clooney was ready to roast himself over his hair while stopping by Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday. Admitting the deep brunette dye job he got for his role in Good Night, and Good Luck was not his best look, the Tony-nominated actor told Meyers, 'It's bad. It's still dark on top, but it's gray at the bottom. So you get that really nice-looking grow-out of gray.' Clooney, who said he was purposefully hiding under a baseball cap, said he was relieved he'll finally be able to get rid of the tint when he wraps his critically acclaimed Broadway show on Sunday afternoon, right before the Tony Awards. Though Meyers told the ER star that his locks look 'great onstage,' he joked that 'offstage, it looks like you are trying to get away with something.' 'It really looks bad. It looks like you're going through some horrible midlife crisis,' Clooney agreed, then smirking as he added, 'I'm 64 ... midlife is a little stretch.' Trying to find an upside, the leading man said wife Amal Clooney does find his temporary hairstyle 'funny' but will 'be glad when it's gone.' While talking to the New York Times in March, the normally salt-and-pepper-coiffed star laughed about how 'nothing makes you look older than when an older guy dyes his hair.' But Clooney thought the transformation was necessary to play real-life journalist Edward R. Murrow, whose Cold War-era clash with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy is the centerpiece of Good Night, and Good Luck.

Apple Design Award 2025 winners announced — apps and games recognized for innovation and ingenuity
Apple got a head start on WWDC 2025 by announcing the winners of its annual Apple Design Awards today (June 3), as it looks to highlight some of best apps and games available in its App Store. This year's edition features 12 winners picked by the App Store's editorial team, curated from a list of 36 finalists. The categories have changed over the years, but the 2025 iteration has the same categories as last year minus the spatial computing category for Apple Vision Pro apps. Returning categories include Delight and Fun, Inclusivity, Innovation, Interaction, Social Impact, Visuals and Graphics. Each category sees two winners — an app and a game, so the six categories result in 12 awards. The winners aren't defined by downloads or revenue but by a commitment to innovation and ingenuity, Apple says. The 2025 winners will be recognized during WWDC 2025, which starts next Monday (June 9). Here's the full list of winners, as well as a selection of our favorites we recommend you check out. Balatro took the gaming world by storm last year. It was even one of our picks for the best video games of 2024. If you haven't played, the game fuses poker, solitaire and deck building where you combine joker cards with abilities to score points. Don't let the poker scare you, the twists on the rules make it a familiar-but-fresh take on the card game. It's "one more round" on your iPhone or iPad. Honorable Mention: CapWords turns images of objects into stickers to help you learn new languages. If you're practicing a new language this could be a fun way to change things up. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Play is an app designed to help you create iPhone apps by letting you build prototypes in the Apple SwiftUI code. It was chosen for its intuitive interface to help app makers of all levels of experience collaborate and design. It can be synced between your Mac and your iPhone so you can move between devices as needed. Honorable Mention: PBJ — The Musical is an interactive music game based on Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. It features handcrafted paper figures and voice acting. It's clever and artistic. Dredge is an existential slow-burn horror game that has been available on other platforms for awhile. In fact, it was one of our favorite games that you might have missed in 2023. It only just got an excellent mobile port last year. In the game, you play as a contract fisherman who catches normal fish by day for a remote island settlement, but by night the horrors of the deep fill your nets. It's a haunting mystery with an eerie world to explore. And don't worry, it's not a gory or overly tense horror game, more disquieting. Honorable Mention: Taobao is a shopping experience app design for the Vision Pro that lets you compare 3D models of products side by side. Art of Fauna is a cozy, beautiful, illustrated puzzle game where you solve puzzles by moving around visual elements or texts. The puzzles are coupled with descriptions of the animals they depict. You can solve either the image or the text. It also promotes animal conservation and inclusivity. Honorable Mention: Speechify is an app that reads text and turns it into audio. The app is meant to help people with dyslexia, ADHD and low vision, or for those who learn better by listening. During the devastating California wildfires at the start of the year, the Watch Duty app was indispensable for tracking what was happening with the Palisades and Eaton fires as they spread through those Los Angeles neighborhoods. Through user and agency reports, the app shows fire perimeters and progress and evacuation orders. Plus, it's free and subsists on donations. Honorable Mention: Neva is absolutely gorgeous 2D platformer where a girl and her wolf, Neva, travel the world and fight against corrupted seasons. It's heartbreaking and beautiful and you should play it. On one level, Feather is meant for designers and artists. At the same time, it's a delightful app that takes 2D images and renders them in 3D. It's meant for people of all skills and enables you to create 3D models on the iPad using touch or the Apple Pencil features to create images. You don't need to have an image to start as you can create things from scratch in the app as well. Honorable Mention: Infinity Nikki is a cozy open-world game that continues the Nikki series which focuses magical outfits. Combat in the game is based on style duels and not physical.
