Strands is the NYT’s latest word game after the likes of Wordle, Spelling Bee and Connections – and it’s great fun. It can be difficult, though, so read on for my Strands hints.

Want more word-based fun? Then check out my Wordle today, NYT Connections today and Quordle today pages for hints and answers for those games.

SPOILER WARNING: Information about NYT Strands today is below, so don’t read on if you don’t want to know the answers.

The answers to today’s Strands, game #250, are…

  • SHAKE
  • WAVE
  • CLAP
  • PRAY
  • PINCH
  • FIST
  • POINT
  • PEACE
  • SPANGRAM: HANDGESTURES

  • My rating: Easy (but pointless)
  • My score: Perfect

It seems a shame that the NYT didn’t mark the 250th Strands game with a better, more interesting puzzle than this, but here we are. Today’s game is essentially a case of ‘Say what you see’. All eight standard answers are shown in emoji form, with only the spangram to work out on your own. So you get the likes of POINT, PRAY, WAVE and CLAP, plus the spangram HANDGESTURES to describe them all. The only remotely difficult answer was PINCH, which was a rare ‘crossover’ answer, where the letters formed a knot. It was all a bit of a waste, really, with no brain power required.

What is NYT Strands?

Strands is the NYT’s new word game, following Wordle and Connections. It’s now out of beta so is a fully fledged member of the NYT’s games stable and can be played on the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

I’ve got a full guide to how to play NYT Strands, complete with tips for solving it, so check that out if you’re struggling to beat it each day.

Marc is TechRadar’s Global Editor in Chief, the latest in a long line of senior editorial roles he’s held in a career that started the week that Google launched (nice of them to mark the occasion). Prior to joining TR, he was UK Editor in Chief on Tom’s Guide, where he oversaw all gaming, streaming, audio, TV, entertainment, how-to and cameras coverage. He’s also a former editor of the tech website Stuff and spent five years at the music magazine NME, where his duties mainly involved spoiling other people’s fun. He’s based in London, and has tested and written about phones, tablets, wearables, streaming boxes, smart home devices, Bluetooth speakers, headphones, games, TVs, cameras and pretty much every other type of gadget you can think of. An avid photographer, Marc likes nothing better than taking pictures of very small things (bugs, his daughters) or very big things (distant galaxies). He also enjoys live music, gaming, cycling, and beating Wordle (he authors the daily Wordle today page).
