In brief
A hint ladder for Monday's NYT Strands, ending with the theme that cracks game #925 open. Monday's Strands theme is OH MY GOSH!!, so hunt for words that read as exclamations of surprise. Originally reported by TechRadar.
Four hints, one ladder
The page steps up in order: today's theme, clue words, the spangram's letters, then where the spangram sits. Stop at the rung that unsticks you.
Check which day you're on
A fresh Strands drops at midnight in your own time zone, so half the world is a puzzle behind. Sunday's game #924 has its own page if you landed here early.
The newest NYT word game
Strands followed Wordle, Spelling Bee and Connections into the NYT puzzle lineup. It rewards spotting a theme, not just spelling, and it bites.
“It can be difficult, though, so read on for my Strands hints.”
Sibling puzzles, same treatment
TechRadar runs parallel hint pages for Connections and Quordle, plus Marc's Wordle column, if one grid isn't enough for your morning.
Spoiler line drawn here
Everything past the warning gives the game away. Read the theme hint first and put the page down if you still want the satisfaction of solving it.
