Today’s New York Times word game, Strands, challenges players with themed word puzzles. In the latest game (#304), the theme is “What a workout”. Clue words include GIFTLIST, PUNS, and more. The spangram for the day is “Exercise”. The answers for the game are CRUNCH, SQUAT, LUNGE, PLANK, and more, making it an easy yet engaging puzzle. As we approach the New Year, the message is shared that a gym is not just for January, as many flock to gyms at the start of the year with resolutions that often fade. These exercises can be done at home, but caution is advised with intense moves like BURPEES. Strands offers a fun and challenging way to exercise your brain and vocabulary.
