Everyone will need a hint to figure out today’s NYT Strands Spangram and answers. The May 25 theme, “Sounds delicious,” is a difficult one, and even when you understand it, it requires some creativity to know what to look for. My hints below will point you in the right direction.
Today’s NYT Strands Sounds delicious Spangram hints and clue words
While the “sounds delicious” theme is a hint in itself, I have another one for you. What do you call a word that sounds like another one, despite having a different meaning? The “delicious” part of the theme is relevant for the answers but not the Spangram. If you’re still having a hard time, here are some clue words that will help you unlock hints:
- SELL
- POME
- TOES
- RIME
- RILE
- LOOM
- PEER
My last hint for you is that the Spangram starts from the “H” in the top row and goes all the way down to the “S” in the last row.
The May 25 Strands Spangram is “HOMOPHONES”. It means words that have the same pronunciation but different meanings, and that’s what today’s puzzle is about.
