Sunday’s Strands puzzle is here, without a specific theme this time. The letter jumble is on the difficult side, with hints and answers to help you through it. The Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search, currently in beta form, so it needs players to continue being offered.
Each day presents players with a new game of Strands, featuring a grid of letters to find words with a common theme. A spangram, linking opposite sides of the board, is also included. Finding three valid words unlocks a hint button to help with the theme words. The challenge varies each day, keeping players on their toes with different wordplay elements.
Today’s hint for the Strands puzzle is “This’ll all blow over,” with a personal hint referencing Stephen King. The spangram is revealed to be “LIGHTWEIGHT,” linking words like EYELASH, STRAW, PAPER, FEATHER, BUBBLE, and BALLOON. These words are all lightweight items that tend to get blown away, fitting the obscure category of today’s puzzle.
The puzzle may be considered hard due to the random category, with some words requiring hints to be uncovered. The complexity of the theme and the resulting words may have players scratching their heads, but the hints and answers provided can guide them through the puzzle. The creator’s process for coming up with unique and challenging categories is questioned, perhaps hinting at AI involvement.
Though solving the puzzle may prove challenging, with obscure word choices and connections, the hints and answers offered aim to assist players in figuring out the theme. As players work through the Strands puzzle, they can enjoy the mix of difficulty and surprise each day brings.
