27monster27 14,529 Posted December 31, 2025 Share Posted December 31, 2025 (edited) https://www.nytimes.com/games/strands For thos unaware, NYT has a series of word games that people like to play. The most popular ones are Connections and Wordle, but they have others that still get a lot of plays. Lady Gaga was referenced in today's Strands puzzle. I won't give it away, but this shows that she is becoming more of a force again. SPOILER WARNING! Spoiler It's Abracadabra.

hELXIG 44,036 Posted December 31, 2025 Share Posted December 31, 2025 (edited) Oh I haven't some strands today! In fact I've fallen off playing all the NYT games. I've done over 850 worldes and used to do the strands and mini every day and often the connections and sometimes the letterboxed. I think I got salty when they took away the mini crossword from the free tier and just stopped doing any of them let me do today's strands... It's funny what random words you find that aren't aren't part of the puzzle. I just found 'tourette' without the s WAIT there was no Gaga reference?? The theme was 'one good turn deserves another' I am confusion edit: OH maybe it's because I'm in New Zealand and it's already the 31st but it's still the 30th where you are maybe? Edited December 31, 2025 by hELXIG I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm in EST and it's still the 30th for me lol. I'm happy that she got referenced. Also Dancing in Circles for "One Good Turn Deserves Another" would be crazy. ...but it a good way. he/him/his 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps, you can do smaller four letter minimum words three times in a row to get a hint in the game. he/him/his Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
