Uncover the Words: A Horse-Themed Word Hunt
The New York Times' daily puzzle game, Strands, is a fun twist on classic word search games. Each day, a new theme is presented, and players must uncover 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.
Today's theme is 'Horsing Around', and the spangram is 'EQUINESTRIAN'. Here are the words that fit the theme:
- JOCKEY
- GROOM
- WRANGLER
- VETERINARIAN
- FARRIER
The author shares their experience solving the puzzle, highlighting the challenges of finding some words, especially those related to horses. They found 'GROOM' and 'JOCKEY' in the corners, which led them directly to the spangram. The author also mentions trying to fit 'TRAIN' into the grid, but 'TRAINER' was not found.
