Today's NYT Strands answer — Today's theme and hints

The official theme for NYT Strands #759 is... "Don't make a peep."

And here's an unofficial hint from me: "I can't hear anything."

If you're still in the dark, here are some useful words to give you those valuable clue tokens:

  • LESSON
  • LION
  • SHED
  • SHUNT
  • QUITE
  • SHIN

Still struggling? The spangram touches two opposite sides of the board (but can start and end anywhere), and will give you a hint about the connection between the answers. Today, it starts with 'S' and ends with 'H'.

“Don't make a peep”

Hi Strands fans. Ever wondered how many 'H's you can put in a shh? According to the NYT's puzzle setters, it's at least 12.

That meant I got the spangram right away, seeing the sheer density of the letter 'H' in the middle of the board, and connecting them to the 'S' in the top-left corner to spell SHHHHHHHHHHHH.

That made the rest of the puzzle a doddle. I found QUIET in the bottom-left corner, followed by INAUDIBLE above it, and NOISELESS to its right to finish the side.

Two words were left in the top-right segment. SILENT was spelt backwards on the left-hand side, with HUSHED to its right to complete the puzzle.

“While you were sleeping ...”

Hi Strands fans. I'd have definitely struggled today, if it weren't for seeing the word "fairy" in the bottom-right corner.

I was going to chalk that up for my 'clue word' section, when I saw the word "tooth" next to it. When that failed to connect, I saw the 'the' next to it and finally had my spangram: THETOOTHFAIRY.

That made the rest of the puzzle a breeze. I found PILLOW in an arc above the middle of the spangram, with COIN to its left and NOTE to its right.

I then figured out that the 'X' above was part of the word EXCHANGE, and saw WAND on the right-hand side. That just left WINGS and TUTU along the top to complete the puzzle.
