NYT Strands July 5 answers and hints: Timekeepers mystery solved
The New York Times Strands puzzle on July 5 2025, challenged players with a fun brain-teasing theme called Every Second Counts. This puzzle focused on timekeeping devices, things that track or measure time during the day. The game's unique feature, called the Spangram, was the word "TIMEKEEPERS," which tied the entire puzzle together. Players needed to find words related to clocks, watches, and other traditional time tools on a six-by-eight letter grid.
Hints helped solvers focus on specific time devices. For example, one clue described an instrument that keeps accurate time despite movement or temperature changes, while another pointed to a device with two connected bulbs filled with sand. These clues led to words like CHRONOMETER and HOURGLASS, enriching the puzzle's theme.
