    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 Thursday’s puzzle instead then click here: NYT Strands hints and answers for Thursday, September 25 (game #571).

    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.

    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 #572, are…

    • PENDULUM
    • GEARS
    • CHIMES
    • WINDER
    • WEIGHTS
    • SPANGRAM: GRANDFATHERCLOCK

    • My rating: Hard
    • My score: 1 hint

    I’m sure there were plenty of people playing today’s game who had no idea what a GRANDFATHER CLOCK is and even those among us who did what words we could be searching for.

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

    As someone ridiculously troubled by ticking sounds I’ve never had one or, thankfully, stayed in a house containing one – but I did know that a PENDULUM is a key component. After getting that, however, I was lost so took a hint.

    Today’s extra-long spangram is the second 16-letter long beast we’ve had this month following OPPOSITESATTRACT – but still one letter behind the all time leader, BATTERIESREQUIRED from July.
