Mashable Publishes July 19 NYT Strands Answers, Revealing 5 Theme Words and 'Supersize it'

1 articles · Updated · Mashable · Jul 19

Summary

  • Mashable posted the July 19 answers for NYT Strands, identifying the spangram as “Supersize it” and listing five solution words tied to the day’s puzzle.
  • The outlet framed the theme with the hint “Big talk,” then clarified that the answers all describe large things in the New York Times word-search-style game.
  • The published word list was Giant, Behemoth, Leviathan, Mammoth and Colossum, with the spangram running horizontally across the grid.
  • Mashable said Strands differs from a standard word search because words can bend in multiple directions and every letter in the grid is used in an answer.
