ForbesToday’s NYT Strands Puzzle: Hints, Spangram And Answers For Monday, June 30thBy Erik Kain

It’s July! The month that Octavian — Augustus Caesar — named for his uncle, Julius Caesar. Augustus gave himself the next month, August, and ever since we’ve had a 12-month calendar celebrating two of history’s most powerful rulers. Roman Empire aside, we have words to uncover. Let’s solve this Strands!

Strands is the newest game in the New York Times’ stable of puzzle games. It’s a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we’re given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day’s theme.

Spoilers ahead.

Today’s Strands Breakdown

This was a moderately difficult Strands. Some words like SLIDE and TRAIN and even FUNHOUSE were pretty easy to find. I had more trouble with CAROUSEL. I kept seeing ORACLE and couldn’t shake it for the longest time. I also found PARK and new it had to be something like THEMEPARK but didn’t find AMUSEMENTPARK until I’d gotten most of the words. SCRAMBLER was last. I’m not a huge roller-coaster guy, I must admit. Anything that whips my neck around just hurts too much.
