NYT ‘Strands’ Hints, Spangram And Answers For Sunday, July 21

If you’re a fan of puzzles and word games, then you’re probably familiar with the New York Times’ daily Strands puzzle. This popular feature challenges readers to uncover hidden words within a grid of letters, using a unique set of clues that require both wordplay and critical thinking.

But sometimes, even the most skilled puzzlers need a little extra help. That’s where we come in! In this article, we’ll provide an additional hint for today’s NYT Strands puzzle, as well as all of the answers and the Spangram – the mysterious word that ties all of the day’s puzzles together.

First, let’s start with the extra hint. Today’s puzzle is all about “Food for Thought,” and the clue for the top left corner reads, “Starting to eat (5).” The answer to this one is a bit tricky, as it requires you to think outside the box – or in this case, outside the refrigerator. The word you’re looking for is a type of fruit that’s often eaten as a snack or used in salads. It starts with an “A” and has five letters. Can you guess what it is?

If you’re still having trouble, here’s another hint: the second letter in the word is an “N.” Does that help?

Now, let’s move on to the answers for today’s puzzle. Here they are, listed in the order they appear in the grid:

  1. Starting to eat (5) – see above for the extra hint!
  2. Small songbird (4)
  3. Part of a flower (5)
  4. Large bear (4)
  5. Type of computer input device (7)
  6. Popular Italian dish (7)
  7. Fruit with a pit (5)
  8. Word of farewell (4)
  9. Tool for cutting grass (5)
  10. Spicy condiment (4)

And finally, let’s reveal the Spangram for today. It’s a word that ties all of the day’s puzzles together, and it’s hidden somewhere in the grid. Can you find it? The Spangram for Sunday, July 21 is “AGAPE.” Good luck finding it!

We hope these hints and answers help you conquer today’s NYT Strands puzzle. Happy puzzling!
