    Looking for a different day?

    A new NYT Strands puzzle appears at midnight each day for your time zone – which means that some people are always playing ‘today’s game’ while others are playing ‘yesterday’s’. If you’re looking for Sunday’s puzzle instead then click here: NYT Strands hints and answers for Sunday, August 24 (game #539).

    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 NYT Connections today and Quordle today pages for hints and answers for those games, and Marc’s Wordle today page for the original viral word game.

    The answers to today’s Strands, game #540, are…

    • LAPTOP
    • NOTEBOOKS
    • FOLDERS
    • BACKPACK
    • CALCULATOR
    • SPANGRAM: SUPPLIES

    • My rating: Hard
    • My score: Perfect

    I had a bit of a back-to-front day today tapping out “top” and “lap”  before I saw we were searching for LAPTOP and tapping out “book” and “note” before seeing NOTEBOOKS.

    Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more.

    I just about got through without using a hint although I was sorely tempted after a slow start. 

    You will never need as many SUPPLIES for the rest of your life as you do at school. Well for your first day of school anyway. After the first week you wise up and realize you don’t have to fill your gigantic BACKPACK with every single piece of stationery item you may possibly need for the next decade.
