NYT ‘Strands' Today: Hints, Spangram And Answers For Friday, June 6
Strands
New York Times
Looking for Thursday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
The New York Times' Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It's in beta for now, which means it'll only stick around if enough people play it every day.
There's a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue.
You'll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow.
Be warned: You'll need to be on your toes.
'Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,' The New York Times notes. 'Just as she varies the difficulty of Wordle puzzles within a week, [Wordle and Strands editor Tracy] Bennett plans to throw Strands solvers curveballs every once in a while.'
Time to do the NYT hint and then my own hint after that:
String's Attached
And mine is:
Ancient Toy
Now we begin the answer portion of the program which is the spangram and the full list of the other answers, the spangram is:

Here it is on the page, and read on:

Without question the hardest Strands I've ever done. I got all the way to the spangram and still had no idea what I was doing, only able to find the words through copious amounts of hints. I have not used a yoyo since I was about eight. I did not even know what the tricks were called I was attempting to do, and I was not good at them anyway. What percent of the population has any clue at all what these tricks are? Guessing practically no one, and if you were as stumped as I was, perhaps that's why you're here.

The film is a mockumentary horror movie 'about a budding filmmaker's attempt to produce his first feature, a found footage movie about Bigfoot.

'All the while, mysterious and sinister occurrences begin to unfold behind the scenes, blurring the lines between movie magic and real life. As the shoot days get longer and scarier, the filmmakers quickly learn that they've stepped into a very real & very terrifying found footage horror film of their own.'

Seth MacFarlane Charts Higher Than Ever, With A Little Help From Frank Sinatra
Seth MacFarlane's Lush Life debuts at No. 17 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart, marking his ... More highest-ever showing and a top 10 launch on two jazz tallies. HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 20: Seth MacFarlane attends "Back from the Ink: Restored Animated Shorts" during the 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival at TCL Chinese Theatre on April 20, 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo byfor TCM) Seth MacFarlane is better known for his hugely successful TV career than his work in music, as series like Family Guy and American Dad rank among the longest-running in animated history. In addition to working daily as a titan of that industry, MacFarlane — who voices dozens of characters on his own programs — is also a prolific musician, known for his love of the Great American Songbook. He's already released more than half a dozen albums and scored multiple Grammy nominations in the traditional pop field, and this week, his latest full-length not only brings him back to the Billboard charts, but helps him reach a new career peak. Lush Life Earns Seth MacFarlane a New Bestseller Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements debuts on a trio of Billboard charts in the United States this week. It opens inside the top 10 on two genre-specific rankings and comes in at No. 17 on the Top Album Sales tally. While that marks the title's lowest starting point on the charts, it's also a new best showing for MacFarlane. The comedian and crooner reaches the top 20 on the Top Album Sales chart for the very first time in his music career. Lush Life opens inside that area with a little more than 4,400 pure purchases during its first tracking frame (per Luminate). Seth MacFarlane's Previous Best Showing Before this frame, he had only cracked the top 40 once, more than a decade ago, when Holiday for Swing! opened and peaked at No. 38. Back when the Top Album Sales list featured far more than the 50 spaces it does today, Music Is Better Than Words spent a single turn at No. 111, and those are his only three placements on the tally. Seth MacFarlane's New Top 10s Lush Life is far more successful on two of Billboard's style-focused rankings. The collection, which sees MacFarlane recording music written for Frank Sinatra that the legend never got to make during his lifetime, launches at No. 3 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and No. 4 on the slightly broader Jazz Albums tally. He's now collected half a dozen top 10s on both of those rosters.

Brad Pitt on His New Style Change: ‘I Just Feel Like We've Gotta Have Fun'
Ahead of Brad Pitt's upcoming film F1: The Movie, the Hollywood star was spotted frequently with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. While the duo made plenty of headlines, the 61-year-old actor also drew attention for the major changes to his style. Pitt was spotted wearing some unique and, honestly, pretty fun attire at various points in recent weeks. This includes what looked like a blue velvet oversized jacket with baggy jeans, and also a tie-dye outfit, among other looks. Regardless of how people felt about Pitt's new look, he stuck with it while publicly donning the stylistic change, to his credit. During the New York City-based premiere of F1: The Movie, GQ's Sasha Faith Mutchnik asked Pitt about his new looks, and perfectly referenced it as the actor getting back to his Fight Club "Tyler Durden-era" a bit. Pitt smiled while addressing the looks and candidly responded on the topic. "I just feel like, we've gotta have fun, let's have fun," Pitt said. "There's so much turmoil in the world. Let's have fun when we can." It was a great response from Pitt, and a few of his looks can be seen in the video posted by GQ below. Fans loved Pitt's answer, and specifically referenced the Fight Club aspect of the question as well. "Fight club rules," said one fan. 'There's so much turmoil in the world. Let's have fun when we can. Well said BP," added another. "He is having fun with fashion, and I am enjoying it," replied another fan. "Tyler Durden era," responded another with the raising hands emoji. While the unique outfits had fans' attention recently, Pitt's response to them is hard not to respect. Pitt and fellow co-star Damson Idris star in the upcoming F1: The Movie, which officially premieres on June Pitt on His New Style Change: 'I Just Feel Like We've Gotta Have Fun' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 20, 2025
