Today’s NYT Strands Advice and Answers
Looking for Sunday Strands tips, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
Father’s Day has come and gone. I hope everyone had a great time, whether you are a father or just have a father, or even if – maybe especially if – you don’t have one in your life, I think it might be on a day like Father’s Day. I hope you all had a good day. I love Father’s Day now because my teenage kids always want to do their own thing, but on Father’s Day (and my birthday later this week) they have no excuse not to watch movies with me. I miss when they were little and all they wanted to do was hang out with me. It’s funny how we can take this for granted when we are young parents and overwhelmed.
Ah, enough with the bittersweet. I saw Inside out 2 this weekend, and one of the funnest parts was a new emotion, Nostalgia, that popped up for a moment before being chased away by the other emotions. “Too soon!” they exclaimed. Well, now I’m immersed in nostalgia. Once it grips you, it will never let you go.
Okay, let’s untangle this Strands network, shall we?

You will also need to find a special word called a spangram. This will tell you what the words have in common. A spangram joins two opposite sides of the board.

Today’s thread breakdown
I love board games and have played them all, although not many for a long time. Once I found the CLUE, I immediately found the SPANGRAM and everything else fell into place until I was left with RISK and PROBLEMS. I hadn’t seen the ‘R’ for RISK in a long time and it threw me off, but once I did it was pretty easy. Of those, I’d say CLUE and MONOPOLY are my favorites, although I’ve enjoyed many SORRY games. RISK has always been a game I thought I wanted more of, but I feel like it needs more depth in its war mechanics to really shine. BATTLESHIP is just dumb luck. TROUBLE is the game I played the least. I have enough problems in my life to deal with.
