    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 2 (game #517).

    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 #518, are…

    • WHIFF
    • ERROR
    • FAULT
    • FUMBLE
    • BOBBLE
    • BLOOPER
    • SPANGRAM: SPORTS GOOF

    • My rating: Hard
    • My score: 2 hints

    I hated this game. None of these words meant anything to me and my first three game words gave me nothing to steer me in the right direction – I got the first two thanks to the double-Fs and from there took some hints.

    In the end it didn’t matter, as my knowledge of sports doesn’t extend to the SPORTS GOOF, but I got the general idea.

    Instead, today’s game became a random word search and I fumbled, bumbled and fluked my way to the exhausting end of it.
