New York Times Strands puzzle game: Sunday, May 11 Answers and Tips

Author: Paul Tassi

Let's start a new week with the Strands game! To be honest, I think today's game is quite difficult, from prompts to word lists to word riddles, it is quite challenging. But let's wait and see how you perform.

Strands gameplay

The New York Times' Strands puzzle game is a new take on the classic text search game. It is currently in beta, which means it can only continue to exist if enough people are involved in the game every day.

There will be new Strands games every day. The game will provide a letter grid of six rows and eight columns. The goal is to find a set of words that have commonalities, and the game will give clues about the topic. When you find a topic word, it will be highlighted in blue.

You also need to find a special word called spangram. It will tell you what these words have in common. The puzzle connects the sides of the board. Although the subject word will not be a proper noun, the riddle can be a proper noun. When you find the puzzle, it will be highlighted in yellow.

Note: You need to be vigilant.

"Some topics are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They can also be steps in the process, items belonging to the same category, synonyms or homophones," the New York Times noted. “Just like she would adjust the difficulty of Wordle games every week, [Wordle and Strands Editor Tracy] Bennett plans to occasionally give Strands problem solvers some puzzles.”

What is the Strands prompt today?

First, we'll start with the official tips from The New York Times and then I'll give my own tips that I think will help you further. The official tips are:

The essence of your heart

What is the answer to Strands today?

Now let’s look at today’s answer. The following content contains spoilers, please read it with caution. We will start with the puzzle and then list the complete list of answers. The puzzle is:

STREETCRED (Street Reputation)

Its position on the board is as follows:

The answer is:

• STATURE (Height, Status)
• NAME (name)
• CHARACTER (character, quality)
• REPUTATION (reputation, reputation)
• STANDING (status, reputation)

I really have a hard time connecting the New York Times tips to the board because it's rather vague, a very specific category based on reputation, and STREETCRED is somewhat unexpected as a riddle. Once you browse the list, you can understand their intentions, but when solving the problem? Quite tricky. STANDING and NAME are two words that I would not immediately associate with this idea, while the others are more obvious.
