Today's NYT Strands Puzzle: Hints, Spangram And Answers For Monday, June 30th
Today's NYT Strands hints and answers
Looking for Sunday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
Yesterday's Strands puzzle was one of the most creative I've played since the inception of this game. If you missed it, please do go check it out because it's very clever. Today's, however, is much more difficult. I struggled with this one. Hopefully some hints will help you on your way.
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.

Today's Strands
Not many words today, but trickier ones than I've seen in awhile. I'm not a flower expert, and honestly didn't even know what CLEMATIS was until now. Embarrassingly, I didn't know JASMINE was a CLIMBER either. And MOONFLOWER sounds like something out of a fantasy book. These are all very evocative words. WISTERIA sounds like a place. SWEETPEA is as often used as a term of endearment. It reminds me of the Sweetpea Festival we used to go to as a kid growing up in Bozeman, MT. Fun times.
