NYT Strands Today: Hints and Answers for October 26
What is NYT Strands?
Created by the New York Times, Strands has become a daily digital ritual worldwide, much like Wordle and Connections. The game presents players with a grid of letters where they must find words connected by a specific theme. Each puzzle includes a "spangram"—a word that connects two opposite sides of the grid and defines the main theme of the game.
Today's Puzzle: #967
The theme for today's game, #967, is "Please, be my guest!". This clue points directly to the concepts of hospitality and hosting. If you encounter difficulties during the game, you can use helper words such as POSH, VITALITY, HONEST, COVE, VINE, or THERE. These words will help you unlock the game's internal hint system.
The spangram for today consists of 11 letters. It begins in the fourth column of the top section of the grid, with its final letter placed in the first column of the bottom section.
