Daily New York Times Unveils Clues and Responses for Sunday, September 19, 2025
Get ready for a brain-teasing challenge as the New York Times' word-search game, Strands, presents a new puzzle with a "Pour it in" theme.
In today's Strands, players will navigate a grid filled with letters, where words can be formed in various directions, including changing direction. The objective remains the same: every letter in the Strands grid is part of an answer.
Today's word list includes "Cashew", "Flax", "Macadamia", "Nondairy Milk", "Coconut", "Rice", and "Almond". These words, you guessed it, are types of vegan drink alternatives. That's right, today's Strands focuses on the world of beverages, inviting players to think creatively and strategically.
The spangram for today's puzzle spans the grid horizontally, and it's none other than "Nondairy Milk". That's a hint for you to start your journey!
Interestingly, today's Strands does not feature a vertical spangram. This game, while sharing similarities with games like Wordle and Connections, takes a bit longer to play due to its unique grid structure and thematic challenges.
For those who missed yesterday's puzzle, we regret to inform that the solution and the word list are not provided in this article. But fear not, the next one is just around the corner!
If you're curious about the spangram hint, it suggests a horizontal arrangement. However, yesterday's spangram hint was a bit more cryptic, hinting at a possible vertical arrangement, fitting the theme "Things are starting to take shape" related to geometry, and the spangram was "GEOMETRY CLASS", which started vertically with "GE".
So, grab your favourite vegan drink, settle in, and let the Strands adventure begin! Good luck, word-search enthusiasts!
