NYT ‘Strands' Today: Hints, Spangram And Answers For Tuesday, April 29th
Today's NYT Strands hints and answers Credit: New York Times Looking for Monday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: Well it's Tuesday, a day named for the god Tyr from German and Norse mythology. A god of war. That's why most wars start on Tuesdays. Just kidding! I'm pretty sure any day is as good as another when it comes to war. Or as bad, as the case may be. But we're not here for gods or war, we're here to uncover words. Let's solve today's Strands, shall we? 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. Here are some hints to help you solve today's grid. Today's Theme: I've got you covered Hint: Turtles and the like. Clue: But also peanuts. Here are the first two letters of each word: Remember, spoilers ahead! Today's spangram is: SHELLS Here's the full list of words: Here's the completed Strands grid: Today's Strands Credit: Erik Kain Other than the pretty easy spangram—SHELLS—this was a tricky Strands. For one thing, it was kind of a leap to get from 'I've got you covered' to 'things with shells' especially when some words were NUCLEUS or NAUTILUS. Some of these are food items, like TACO or WALNUT, while others, like ARMADILLO and TORTOISE are animals. I like a good, challenging Strands, however, so this was nice. How did you do on your Strands today? Let me know on Twitter and Facebook.

Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Thursday, April 17th
Looking for help with today's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle? Here are some hints and answers for the ... More puzzle. In case you missed Wednesday's NYT Mini Crossword puzzle, you can find the answers here: Thor's Day is upon us, so I expect a little rain and thunder. What's the use of a day named after a god of storms if we don't get fun and exciting weather? Imagine a reality where each day conformed to its namesake. Sundays were always sunny. Mondays the sun didn't come out at all, and the moon was always full. I'm not sure we can quite pigeon hole the rest of the days as easily. Tuesday is named for Tyr, a god of war, so I suppose violent crime rates would go up. Freya is a fertility goddess, but I think Fridays are already carved out for lovers. I digress. More importantly than my endless musings about the days is this Mini Crossword we have to solve. Let's solve it! The NYT Mini is a smaller, quicker, more digestible, bite-sized version of the larger and more challenging NYT Crossword, and unlike its larger sibling, it's free-to-play without a subscription to The New York Times. You can play it on the web or the app, though you'll need the app to tackle the archive. Spoilers ahead!
