This is the toughest Strands puzzle I’ve yet played, I think.
Whether you find it as difficult remains to be seen; maybe I was having an off day.
Play any of these words to unlock the in-game hints system.
This is officially my worst performance in Strands so far.
I needed 5 hints to solve it meaning I only found two on my own.
What was the problem?
Well, I definitely wasn’t on form, but equally I think lots of people might struggle here.
And let’s face it, both MOJITO and DAIQUIRI do have uncommon word structures.
The task wasn’t helped by my never having heard of GIMLET, either.
Strands is the NYT’s new word game, following Wordle and Connections.
