The popular word puzzle game Strands from The New York Times just became bigger and better. The game strands unlimited has let the players dive into puzzle after puzzle right from day one at any time of the day without having to stick to just one puzzle a day.
What Is the Strands Game?
Strands is the latest word puzzle to join the NYT. Every day, players are treated to a 6×8 grid of letters and a theme. The challenge? Uncover all the words that relate to a theme. And don’t overlook the special one-word spangram that stretches across the puzzle and binds everything together.
The Strands game is different from a typical word game because it incorporates themes, lateral word associations, and a format that has vocabulary, logic, and pattern recognition. The more you find, the more the puzzle reveals itself.
What’s New in Strands Unlimited?
Strands Unlimited enables players to complete more than the daily challenge. With this new mode, you can.
- Play past puzzles from an expanding archive.
- Practice without time limits.
- Uncover more strategies and words before the day’s release; don’t wait!
This is a good option for word game players who are not minding having multiple rounds in a day.
Today’s Theme: “Fowl Business”.
The theme of today’s puzzle is Fowl Business which concerns birds — farmed, hunted, or otherwise — that humans eat. It had a thesaurus full of words on birds and was challenging enough for people who liked nature, farming and languages.
Spangram for today’s theme
GAMEBIRDS
This word links the sides of the puzzle and captures the essence of the day. It refers to quails, grouses, pheasants, and other such birds that are usually connected with hunting or farming.
Themed Words
- PHEASANT
- QUAIL
- GOOSE
- TURKEY
- EGRET
- GROUSE
- PARTRIDGE
- GAMEBIRDS (also the spangram).
We have recently seen some nice themed puzzle but this was particularly good and was definitely good for the birds.
Where to Play the Strands Game.
You can play the Strands game, along with Wordle, Connections and Spelling Bee, on the official New York Times Games website. No app is required, and it’s free to try.
With daily puzzles and now Strands Unlimited, the Strands game continues to grow as one of the most engaged and educational word games going. The fowl business crossword was the best crossword to come around in a while, if you are new to the grid or an expert word user.
