Hints
Today’s NYT Strands puzzle might initially seem daunting, but don’t fret! With the theme “Now I get it!” and a hint of “Eureka!”, there’s a pathway to clarity. Your main goal is to find hidden words that fit this clever motif. If you stumble upon several four-letter words, they could unlock valuable hints for you.
A few fruitful starting points include: GREET, TEES, HASP, PATH, STAND, HOME, RASP, and REND. Identifying just three of these will provide a crucial insight into the overarching clues in the puzzle.
