NYT ‘Strands' Today: Hints, Spangram And Answers For Thursday, June 5
Strands NYT Looking for Wednesday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: 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. 'Just as she varies the difficulty of Wordle puzzles within a week, [Wordle and Strands editor Tracy] Bennett plans to throw Strands solvers curveballs every once in a while.' Time to do the NYT hint and then my own hint after that: Mary, Mary, quite… And mine is: Rhyme words Now we begin the answer portion of the program which is the spangram and the full list of the other answers, the spangram is: GARDEN Here it is on the page, and read on: Strands NYT And the answers are: Strands NYT Well, I hope you're up on your nursery rhymes that first originated in the year 1744, because that's what we're doing today. There are more modern version of the poem, which was originally from England, and we're taking different words from that version, which is: Well, I got contrary, but to get the rest of those I needed a few hints, as this is not exactly what I'm reading to my kids at night. Also, the spangram is just another word, that's not what the spangram is supposed to be. They keep doing this! Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

How to save money at B&M The B&M scanner app is free to download onto your smartphone via the Apple App Store or Google Play and flags potential bargains. Once downloaded, use the camera on your phone to scan product barcodes around the store. The app then tells you the true price of that product, which is sometimes much lower than the price tag says it is. One shopper used the app to get a £10 long hot water bottle for just 10p. The best time to get cut-price products is 10am on a Wednesday, according to one ex B&M manager. This is when staff slash items to as little as 10p to clear excess stock and make way for new products. Deals expert Tom Church said to keep an eye out for red sticker products as well.
