The new NYT Strands puzzle today is all about an activity many Americans really enjoy. While as a Brazilian I’m technically American, I knew “American pastime” referred to something more specific to the United States. Here’s how to solve the May 15 puzzle.
Tips to play today’s NYT Strands
If you’re familiar with American culture, you can spend time thinking about what kinds of activities people typically do together to have fun and pass the time. Try finding some of these words on the Strands board, and remember they can be written backwards. I wouldn’t worry too much about the Spangram right away. With some quick thinking and looking for double letters, I was able to hit a solution word in my first guess. If you’re finding it hard, I recommend you simply find any three words to unlock a hint that will make everything clear.

Before being able to find a valid word on today’s Strands board, I tried looking for anything related to sports fans, like “football” and “barbecue”. They weren’t there, but I was on the right path to start finding the answers.
You may not find the Spangram right off the bat but don’t worry. Make sure all the bases are covered and you’ll quickly find the answers.
