Today's Wordle Answer and Helpful Clues: 'Vixen'
Wordle is a popular word puzzle where players try to guess a five-letter word in six tries. The game was created by Josh Wardle and became very popular after The New York Times took it over in 2022. Players start by guessing any five-letter word. After each guess, the game gives clues: Green means the letter is right and in the right place. Yellow means the letter is right but in the wrong place. Gray means the letter is not in the word. The New York Times' Wordle editor, Tracy Bennett, says any starter word is okay, but after looking at many games, the word 'trace' is a good choice to start with. You can play Wordle for free, but if you want to save your scores and see more analysis, you need a subscription. Hints for Today's Wordle (#1454): The word is a noun. It has two vowels: I and E. It has no repeating letters. It starts with the letter V. The word means a female fox, just like a hen is a female chicken. Today's Wordle Answer: VIXEN

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: YOYOTRICKS Here it is on the page, and read on: Strands NYT And the answers are: Strands NYT 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. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.
