Today's NYT Strands Puzzle: Hints, Spangram And Answers For Wednesday, June 11th
Today's NYT Strands hints and answers
Looking for Tuesday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
It's Odin's Day, smackdab in the middle of the week, and we have words to uncover. Another Strands to delight and frustrate us. These are always the hardest right at the get-go, when everything is just a jumble of letters. Sometimes, even when the theme is obvious, it's just hard to find that first word. Other times, the words practically leap off the page. Today's puzzle was the former. I struggled to get started but once I did, everything fell nicely into place.
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.

As I noted up above, this one took me awhile to get started, but once I'd found DECO and REVIVAL, I was off to the races. BRUTALIST made finding the spangram — ARCHITECTURE — easy enough. The only one that really gave me trouble was BAROQUE, which I just couldn't get my head around for the longest time. If it isn't BAROQUE, don't fix it!

Today's ‘Wordle' #1456 Hints, Clues And Answer For Saturday, June 14th
How to solve today's Wordle. SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Looking for Friday's Wordle hints, clues and answer? You can find them here: Hooray and huzzah! It's Saturday! The day of Saturn—the one day of the week that celebrates a Roman god instead of Norse/Germanic gods. The rain of early June has departed and now we're in the mid-80s, which is a lot hotter when you're at 7,500 feet above the sea. The sun is brutal. I have to remember to wear sunscreen or I crisp right up. That won't be an issue while we solve today's Wordle, of course. The Hint: Spooky. The Clue: This Wordle has far more consonants than vowels. Okay, spoilers below! The answer is coming! . . . Today's Wordle Screenshot: Erik Kain Every day I check Wordle Bot to help analyze my guessing game. You can check your Wordles with Wordle Bot right here. BLOAT was a great starting word, leaving me with just 18 remaining words and two green boxes. I couldn't think of a perfect word with all new letters, so I went with four new letters in an attempt to rule out the one remaining vowel I thought might be a problem. SHUNT shaved off every possible solution but one: GHOST for the win! Today's Wordle Bot Screenshot: Erik Kain Sadly, the Bot and I tied today so we get 0 points for that. We each get 1 point for guessing in three. Our June totals inch up while the gap remains the same: Erik: 11 points Wordle Bot: 8 points The word ghost comes from Old English gāst, meaning "spirit" or "soul." It is related to Old High German geist (spirit) and is likely from a Proto-Germanic root gaistaz. The deeper origin is uncertain, but it may be linked to the idea of breath or life force.

The theme of this year's Juneteenth Festival fashion show is resilience. Here's how it's inspiring designers.
The 16th annual Juneteenth Festival in New York City takes place Saturday. The theme for this year's Juneteenth New York fashion show is resilience, and designers are incorporating colors of the Juneteenth flag. Models will strut the runway in colors that represent resilience and strength. It takes the organizer a full year to plan all the intricacies that go into making the Juneteenth Festival a success. Each year, designers are tasked with presenting their interpretation of the theme. This year's theme is resilience "The legacy of resilience this year has really been about what are the things we've experienced in the past, how have we grown into where we are today. Whether it's about education, or our cultural history, and all of the arts that are what we are," Juneteenth NYC founder and CEO Athenia Rodney said. Designer Ewan Richards' signature is mud cloth. It goes through a very intensive, intricate process. "To me it's a luxury cloth," Richards said. "To create any dye, you have to use natural resources like sticks, stems, stones, mud. They leave it in a cellar for about a day, then it comes out with these bright colors." A model wears a reversible dress by Ewan Richards. CBS News New York Each of Richards' pieces is stylish, comfortable, and can be worn interchangeably. "Anything you wear is going to be comfortable the way you want it, it's going to look how you want it, feel how you want it," Richards said. The versatility of the clothing is a nod to how the Juneteenth Festival is embracing fashion freedom. "People who have come through a lot and gone through stages of pain onto victory," Oluwapo said. For the second year, CBS News New York is partnering with Juneteenth NYC to highlight culture and community. You can see us at our Pop-Up Newsroom Saturday at Gershwin Park in Brooklyn.
