The answers to today's Quordle, game #951, are…

  • RABBI
  • CRAWL
  • GUPPY
  • BRAND

Words that end in I can always be a little tricky to find, because it's really not where you would expect one. My analysis of every Wordle answer – which should broadly apply to Quordle too – shows that I ends only 11 of Wordle's original 2,309 games. That's a tiny amount! RABBI may or may not be one of those 11, but it's definitely a Quordle answer. And when you throw in the repeated B too – another uncommon occurrence – you have a potential game-ender.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #950, are…

  • AWOKE
  • TIBIA
  • ITCHY
  • SNACK

One word in today's Quordle is far, far harder than the other three – or at least that was my experience. TIBIA, with its repeated letter I and its B in the middle caused me no end of trouble; I needed three guesses to solve it, despite having three yellows already in place when I started it.

Fortunately, I had three guesses spare, so still scraped home. That was thanks to AWOKE, ITCHY and SNACK all proving much more simple to spot, so the end result was a last-gasp win.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #949, are…

  • ARISE
  • OLDER
  • ISSUE
  • ERUPT

Today's Quordle is one of the easiest I've played recently, but that owes a lot to my three start words, which here gave me all five letters for three of the answers, and four for the other one. I don't think it would be massively more difficult however you played it, as the words and letters are all common and there is only one repeat, the S in ISSUE.

That said, I contrived to need eight guesses still, rather than the seven I could have solved it in, by guessing RAISE rather than ARISE. That was a perfectly acceptable error – there was no way for me to know which of the two it was – but if I'd have solved ERUPT first I wouldn't have had that problem, as the R would have been confirmed in position #2 in both words. Still, it didn't ultimately matter.

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

I am not a coffee drinker, but even I know enough about the ubiquitous drink to be able to solve today's Strands in short order. The theme clue helped, as did the fact that LATTE stood out along one side of the board. With those two clues in my armory, I was clear on what I needed to do here and found the answers easily. Well, almost. Once again, the spangram proved a bit more… obscure. COFFEEORDER? Really? It's not exactly a common phrase, is it? But anyway, I found that too and solved this Strands in a couple of minutes.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #948, are…

  • DECAY
  • DRUID
  • AVOID
  • KNEED

There are lots of Ds in today's Quordle – five of them, including two in DRUID. That's great if you played D early on in your game (as I did), less so if you didn't, obviously! But DRUID is probably not the hardest word here (though it is a difficult one), with KNEED arguably taking that spot. Not only does it have a repeated E, but it begins with the uncommon KN combination – so well done if you spotted that.

This is an incredibly straightforward and very easy Strands puzzle, with no real complications at all. The theme clue of 'Commuter benefits' pretty much gives the game away, and once you found the likes of FERRY or TRAIN you'll have known exactly what you needed to do here.

That said, there was one minor complication – namely that the spangram was very long and potentially hard to find. I spotted TRANSPORT early on, and figured it was part of the spangram, but it didn't turn yellow and I knew it wouldn't do, because it didn't touch two sides of the board. It was only relatively late on that I realized it had the word PUBLIC in front of it, at which point everything clicked into place.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #946, are…

  • ABYSS
  • DAILY
  • AGONY
  • MUSKY

ABYSS is a nasty word to appear in Quordle or Wordle. All of the letters are in the wrong places. Take a look at my analysis of every Wordle answer for proof: the results there will transfer over to Quordle, and they show that B is only really common at the start of a word, not second, Y generally only appears at the end, not the middle, and S… well, S is common in most positions but it's overwhelmingly more likely to be at the start than elsewhere. Add in the fact that it has a repeated letter and this is a potentially tough word. The good news is that the other three are all fairly straightforward!

NYT Strands today — hints, answers and spangram for Monday, August 26 (game #176)

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 Wordle today, NYT Connections today and Quordle today pages for hints and answers for those games.

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

NYT Strands today (game #176) - hint #1 - today's theme

What is the theme of today's NYT Strands?

Today's NYT Strands theme is… See you on the court

The answers to today's Strands, game #176, are…

  • VOLLEY
  • SLICE
  • RACKET
  • SMASH
  • LOVE
  • FOREHAND
  • SERVE
  • SPANGRAM: GRANDSLAM

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

My one criticism of today's Strands is that the spangram doesn't really sum up the game, as it's supposed to. GRANDSLAM is indeed a tennis-related term – but it's not the overall concept here. If it were, the answers would be specific to grand slam events such as Wimbledon and the US Open, but obviously they're not – they're just 'words associated with tennis'. That's a little silly, right?

Anyway, that aside this is a perfectly acceptable Strands puzzle. Even if you're not a tennis nut (I like it well enough, but I'm not one of those) you should find it fairly easy, because they're all well known terms and not horribly tough to find.

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

What is NYT Strands?

The answers to today's Quordle, game #945, are…

  • NEVER
  • CHUNK
  • AUNTY
  • CROUP

There's only one really difficult word in today's Quordle – NEVER, which has a repeated E, an uncommon V and a difficult ER ending (difficult because there are so many of them). But the others are all OK, so I doubt too many people will struggle massively with this one.

Much, as always, will probably depend on luck – and on what your strategy is and indeed whether you even have one at all. If you don't… great, but how on earth do you solve Quordle each day? You're clearly smarter than me!

The answers to today's Quordle, game #944, are…

  • APTLY
  • LEVER
  • STORK
  • WIDOW

There are four truly uncommon letters within Wordle, and therefore within Quordle: X, Q, Z and J. These appear far less frequently than the other 22 characters; in fact, as my analysis of every Wordle answer shows, if you had the total appearances for all four it's still lower than that for the next least common letter in the list, V. None of those four appear here, but the next three – V, W and K – all do, and that makes today's game a little harder than some. What's more, W is repeated in WIDOW, and V appears in LEVER, in-between another repeated letter. Tough gig.

  • RICE
  • SODA
  • WATER
  • OYSTER
  • GOLDFISH
  • SALTINE
  • SPANGRAM: CRACKERS

  • My rating: Moderate
  • My score: 2 hints

I do like a nice cracker with a bit of cheese, but have hardly heard of any of the types in today's Strands, so struggled to uncover them all and needed a couple of hints. RICE and WATER I'm aware of (and have eaten), GOLDFISH I was vaguely aware of from TV and movies but SODA, OYSTER and SALTINE… nope, no experience with them. Well, I say that, but it turns out I am aware of them, I'd just never heard them called that.

Anyway, you don't care about my eating habits, so I'll shut up about it and simply say that if you got the rather easy spangram – which the theme clue didn't really help with AT ALL – plus maybe one or two of the others, you'll probably have been OK today.

No complaints about today's Strands, it was simply too difficult for me to solve without needing some hints. But it's a good one in general – nicely coherent in terms of the theme clue and spangram working properly together and with six other answers that were all gettable – but not easy.

The problem, as I found, was that even when I knew what I needed to do, I couldn't wrestle any COMMONSCENTS from the deepest regions of my brain and on to the Strands board. LEMON was obvious, and I spotted SANDALWOOD simply because of its position on the corner/side of the board, but for some reason I couldn't think of the likes of MUSK and ROSE, even though with hindsight they are obvious. I got there in the end, though, and that's enough for me today.

The answers to today's Quordle, game #941, are…

  • BEARD

  • TRUCK

Today's Quordle puzzle is not too bad compared to many; there are no uncommon letters, no repeated letters, no obscure words. And to make it easier still, two of the answers begin with the same letter, B, which always helps. I sailed through them all, thanks in no small part to my three start words giving me four letters for two of the answers, and five for another.

But the Daily Sequence is a different matter: all four words are potentially difficult and TWIXT is an absolute nightmare of a solution. Well done if you solved that one!

The answers to today's Quordle, game #940, are…

  • ALOFT
  • SNUCK
  • LAPSE
  • COMIC

Well, that's never happened to me before! Today, I nearly failed at Quordle due to a typo – yes, really. I'd struggled a bit with this one anyway, losing a guess to ALOFT (I played ALLOT first), but still had two guesses left for the final quadrant, with a green O and yellow I and C. COMIC was the obvious answer, but I was rushing and played COMIX by accident… and it was accepted. The horror! Fortunately I still had one guess left, but it was a reminder to be careful.
