Puzzle Tips, Spangram Solutions, and Answers for the NYT Crossword Puzzle on September 19
The New York Times' Wordle-like game, Strands, is back with a new challenge for today. Today's puzzle is themed around non-dairy milk alternatives, and the aim is to find a group of words that have something in common.
The game presents a six by eight grid of letters, and the spangram, a special word that links two opposite sides of the board, is "NONDAIRYMILK". This word tells what the words have in common and can be a proper name.
When a theme word is found, it remains highlighted in blue, and when the spangram is found, it remains highlighted in yellow. Some themes may be fill-in-the-blank phrases, steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms, or homophones.
Today's Strands hint is "Pour it on", which hints at the theme of non-dairy milk alternatives. The editor of Strands, Tracy Bennett, has not introduced any curveballs in today's puzzle but plans to do so occasionally.
The answers for today's Strands puzzle are FLAX, CASHEW, MACADAMIA, RICE, COCONUT, and ALMOND. If you manage to find these words and the spangram, you're on the right track!
It's important to note that the Strands puzzle is currently in beta and requires daily play to continue. Tracy Bennett hopes to engage more players to ensure the puzzle's continuation. So, why not give it a try and see if you can conquer today's challenge? Good luck!
