NYT Strands today — my hints, answers and spangram for Saturday, January 4 (game #307)

Strands is the NYT’s latest word game after the likes of Wordle, Spelling Bee and Connections – and it’s great fun. It can be difficult, though, so read on for my Strands hints.

Want more word-based fun? Then check out my NYT Connections today and Quordle today pages for hints and answers for those games, and Marc’s Wordle today page for the original viral word game.

SPOILER WARNING: Information about NYT Strands today is below, so don’t read on if you don’t want to know the answers.

Play any of these words to unlock the in-game hints system.

  • CRIED
  • SHIN
  • LIFT
  • LIES
  • PURE
  • BOOM

Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE THEM.

The answers to today’s Strands, game #307, are…

  • FURY
  • SOUND
  • CRIME
  • PUNISHMENT
  • PRIDE
  • PREJUDICE
  • SPANGRAM: BOOK TITLES

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

Today’s Strands gave us another puzzle to impress ourselves with – linking two halves of a classic book title together. If the couple you think of when you see FURY is Usyk, then you may have found this quite tricky.

I was familiar with PRIDE and PREJUDICE (not the zombie version) and CRIME and PUNISHMENT, but have to admit total ignorance to The SOUND and The FURY and I think it’ll remain that way as I’ve got a list of about 100 other books to get through before I dig into a novel described on Goodreads as being like “clambering through a barbed wire fence at the bottom of a swamp.”

How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.


  • DOOR
  • HOOD
  • TRUNK
  • MIRROR
  • BUMPER
  • GRILLE
  • WINDSHIELD
  • SPANGRAM: CAR BODY
