    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 Saturday’s puzzle instead then click here: NYT Strands hints and answers for Saturday, August 9 (game #524).

    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 #525, are…

    • LUAU
    • BLOWOUT
    • SHINDIG
    • HOEDOWN
    • JAMBOREE
    • WINGDING
    • SPANGRAM: PARTIES

    • My rating: Hard
    • My score: 1 hint

    A tricky game today, thanks to some unusual words and interesting twists.

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

    I took a hint to get started, after finding half a dozen non-game words without hitting anything that might relate to a “rip-roaring good time”. 

    The hint gave me LUAU, which is a good thing as this would have been the last thing I would have spotted amongst these old fashioned descriptions of a knees up.

    I think it speaks of our appetite for pleasure that there are so many different words for PARTIES – I’d never heard of WINGDING before, but I’m certain some killer punch and a game that will involve everyone hiding in a cupboard will be involved.

    • SPATULA
    • MIXER
    • ZESTER
