Today’s NYT Strands Puzzle: Hints, Spangram And Answers For Saturday, July 19th
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.
Today’s Strands hints are: Hint : Words you’d describe warm places with, specifically this season. Clue: Okay, warm is an understatement. Here are the first two letters of each word: BA SC MU ST SW SU
I just returned from a trip to Phoenix, AZ so “hot enough for ya?” is rather timely. Of course, Phoenix is not MUGGY in the slightest. Nor would I use the word BALMY to describe that desert city. STICKY? Yes. SCORCHING? Absolutely. SWELTERING? You’re damn right it is. But with a pool, it’s also quite lovely. And air-conditioning, of course.
This was a pretty easy Strands puzzle.
