What are NYT Strands and how to play the game?
Strands is a puzzle game that blends elements of Connections, Spelling Bee, and classic crossword puzzles. Players are given 48 letters arranged on a 6 x 8-inch grid, along with a daily theme. The goal is to solve the Spangram and uncover all the theme-related words.
To play, connect letters on the grid to form words by dragging your mouse or fingers (on a touchscreen) in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal directions.
Start by identifying the central theme word or Spangram, which will help you understand the puzzle's theme.
In addition to the Spangram, you must also find other words related to the theme hidden in the grid. Once you've uncovered them all, the puzzle is complete.
Tips for solving NYT Strands puzzle
Identify the theme words: Fill in the grid with the theme words. Once found, they will be highlighted in blue and won't overlap with each other.
Find the Spangram: Identify the Spangram, a key part of the puzzle that connects two opposite sides of the grid. It encapsulates the theme and may consist of two words. The Spangram will be highlighted in yellow once you've located it.
Take advantage of hints: Pay attention to off-topic words for clues. For every three non-theme words you uncover, letters will be highlighted to give you a hint toward finding a theme word, without directly revealing it.

Muzaffar Ali on Rekha and the magic of Umrao Jaan ahead of its re-release: She flew beyond my dreams, yet stayed rooted in the moment

Filmmaker Muzaffar Ali with Rekha Some films quietly transcend the frame to become more than just cinema — they turn into reflective, living poetry. Umrao Jaan (1981) is one such film, evoking the spirit of Awadh through the story of a courtesan whose grace held strength, and whose sorrow found expression in verse. As the restored version of this cult classic readies for a theatrical re-release on June 27, director Muzaffar Ali reflects on the journey of making the film — and on the singular presence of Rekha , who played the titular role. 'Rekha embodied everything I had imagined Umrao to be — and more,' he says. 'She went beyond my expectations every time. As a director, it's a rare experience when your muse soars above your vision yet remains open to guidance and grounded in the process. The relationship becomes quiet, intense — not dependent, but deeply intertwined. These are rare and special situations.' That connection translated to the screen with a subtle power. Rekha's portrayal of Umrao remains one of her most memorable — marked by restraint, depth, and an almost meditative stillness. As ghazals wove through the soundtrack and the architectural beauty of Nawabi Lucknow came alive, the film unfolded like a half-remembered dream. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The restored version brings this cinematic classic back to the big screen with renewed clarity. A special coffee table book will also be released alongside the film, offering rare insights into the visual and emotional depth behind its creation. From screenplay and music to costume and choreography — every element was rooted in cultural nuance, much like the detailed aesthetic that defined the film's visual world. Also starring Bharat Bhushan, Farooq Shaikh, Naseeruddin Shah , Raj Babbar, Shaukat Kaifi, Dina Pathak, Prema Narayan, Satish Shah, and Gajanan Jagirdar, the film remains a benchmark in period storytelling and poetic cinema.

BADGIRL anime release date confirmed for july 8 with new trailer, cast, and theme song

Get ready for a new high school comedy anime to take the world by storm—here's what you need to know. A totally awesome, funny and fashionable new anime series debuts on Food Network television screens this summer! If you enjoy high school angst, off-beat personalities, and broad, satirical humor, this one's definitely worth checking out. The series was recently announced to debut in Japan on July 8th, 2025, but a fresh new trailer was recently released with tons of buzz-worthy new info—fresh new cast members, a KILLER theme song, and so much more about the anime's story. Here's a sneak peek at what BADGIRL is all about, who's involved, and why anime fans in the US and UK will want to watch this summer's upcoming release. What is BADGIRL anime about? Plot overview for new fans BADGIRL centers on Yu Yutani, an overachieving model student with the highest test scores and no record of trouble — until you peel back her layers. Beneath that shiny façade, Yu harbors a secret desire to be a 'bad girl' in order to get the attention of her Class-77 crush, Atori Mizutori, the stern head of the academy's disciplinary committee. What results is a laugh-out-loud comedy that's abundant with misunderstandings, awkward moments, and Yu's futile efforts to be the kind of rebel she absolutely won't be. Fans of anime such as Komi Can't Communicate, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, or Toradora! will most definitely appreciate BADGIRL's quirky ambitions and refreshing spin of the slice-of-life genre full of school romance and slapstick comedy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Вот что поза во сне говорит о вашем характере!

Featuring a distinctive aesthetic, a stellar and up-and-coming English voice cast, and an exuberantly terrible lead character who's absolutely terrible at being the worst, this is one summer anime that you wouldn't want to flunk out on. Though the new official global streaming platforms aren't yet official, if you're in the US or UK you should stay on the lookout for any announcements from Crunchyroll, Netflix, or HIDIVE, as these services often acquire new seasonal anime.

"Nobody wants it": Fans Freak Out Over Latest Fortnite Festival Headliner Rumor

Image via: Epic Games With this season of Fortnite Festival ending soon on June 17, anticipation is high for what's to come next. A recent leak that electronic music producer Deadmau5 would headline the upcoming season has set off a remarkable negative reaction from the community. Deadmau5 Rumored as Headliner — But Not Everyone's On Board The leak, posted today by reputable Fortnite leakers alleges that Deadmau5 will be introducing brand-new cosmetics to the Festival mode, including a custom keytar and drum set. While that might seem like a fun one-off, high-octane addition to some, safety advocates are sounding the alarm. One user commented, 'Nobody wants it,' a comment that represented many of the comments on multiple threads. Even with Deadmau5's international fame and massive live performance presence, which has drawn as many comparisons to new headliners Marshmello and old headliner Daft Punk, the announcement just hasn't been resonating with much of Fortnite's player community. One of the largest reasons for the lukewarm reception appears to be based on what the community expected from T-Pain. After his ultra-publicized debut in a silly Fortnite 'docuseries' back in Chapter 6 Season 2, fans have been clamoring for a sequel ever since. It was what a lot of people imagined would be his stage for the next Festival. What's Next for the Fortnite Festival? Though Epic Games has yet to formally announce Deadmau5's addition, everything certainly suggests a June 18 debut for the new Festival season, the day after the current one ends. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo If this rumor turns out to be correct, players can look forward to receiving a new Festival Pass, themed cosmetics, and Jam Tracks from the helmeted DJ himself. Sabrina Carpenter is our Fortnite Festival Season 8 Icon! Meanwhile, Fortnite, Chapter 7 of their game is letting electronic music stage the comeback of a lifetime. Insiders say it would help inherit its trailblazing history of unprecedented multi-genre virtual concerts in public video gaming spaces. With past seasons bringing major artists such as Ariana Grande, Travis Scott, and Eminem, the standard has already been established and fans are surely hoping for another amazing chapter. Until then, one thing is for sure, Epic Games has one hell of a tough crowd to win over this time around.
