Strands, the Latest Puzzle to Get You Hooked This November

As Halloween comes to a close, November is here, and with it, the never-ending cycle of puzzles to keep you busy and diverted. For those who can't get enough of word searches and crossword-style games, Strands has become the latest obsession, offering an exciting twist on classic puzzle games.

The game's creator has daily puzzle guides for every single day of the year, which is no doubt a testament to their dedication – or fixation. To help you tackle today's challenge, we've got some extra hints and answers from the New York Times' popular Strands puzzle.

For those new to Strands, it's time to get familiar with this word search game. Each day presents a new theme, where your task is to find all the words on the grid that fit within that theme. What makes Strands unique is the spangram – a word that spans two sides of the board, revealing even more about the theme.

Today's theme: It's Not Polite to Lick Your Plate

The hints are clear, but you'll need to think beyond food-related words. Instead, focus on what would describe a magnificent meal.

**Hints and Answers**

Here are the first two letters of each word:

• DE
• FL
• SC
• DE
• GO

As for the spangram, today's answer is GOODTASTE.

Here's the full list of words to find in the grid:

• DELICIOUS
• FLAVORFUL
• SCRUMPTIOUS
• DELECTABLE
 
I'm loving how Strands keeps us guessing with them daily puzzle guides 🤯. I mean, who wouldn't want to spend their day figuring out a word search game? The spangram is like the ultimate Easter egg – it's like finding a treasure chest in there 😂. But seriously, the themes are always so creative and clever. It's not polite to lick your plate indeed... or should I say, how would you describe a perfect dining experience? 🍴👀 The hints for this one were super tricky, but that's what makes it fun, right? Now I'm off to solve this puzzle like it's a real brain teaser 💡
 
omg i'm so down for this strands game thingy it sounds like so much fun 🤩 i love word searches and crossword puzzles but this spangram thing takes it to the next level like who wouldn't want to find words that span across two sides of the board lol and the theme today is all about good food which means my brain is already thinking about what's for dinner tonight 🍴👌
 
Ugh I'm so over this Strands thing 🙄 it's just more puzzle obsession, what's wrong with people these days? Can't they just chill for a bit? And another thing, why do they have to create daily guides for an entire year?! That's just crazy talk 😂. Can't the creators just leave some room for humans to use their own brains instead of spoon-feeding us answers every step of the way 🤯
 
omg i love puzzles like strands!!! it's so cool how each day has a new theme and you have to think creatively to figure out what the spangram is, and then when you finally get it, it's like woah! my brain is still trying to wrap around why there are 5 words for "magnificent meal" lol but in a good way 🤯 i need more of this kinda game in my life
 
so Strands seems like a pretty cool puzzle game, but idk how daily guides for an entire year is even realistic lol 🤯. i mean, either they're super dedicated to it or they've got some serious burnout going on.

anywayz, the hints and answers are kinda helpful, but it's weird that there isn't more info about the theme, you feel? like we get "it's not polite to lick your plate" but what does that even mean for this meal theme? 🤔

on a positive note tho, the spangram is pretty neat, especially with the answer being GOODTASTE. that part of the game feels really clever and challenging at the same time.

overall tho, i'd say Strands seems like a solid puzzle game, but it's not for everyone, you know? might be more fun for those who enjoy word searches and spangrams 😊
 
I just saw this and I'm like "word search on repeat lol". Strands is so good, but it can get super repetitive. I mean, a new theme every day? It's nice that the creator is dedicated, but I feel like they're stuck in some kind of puzzle loop. Anyways, the spangram is a nice touch - it adds an extra layer of challenge and excitement to the game. Did anyone else notice that the spangram answers kinda give away the theme, or was that just me?
 
I'm still trying to figure out this Strands thing... I mean, it sounds like a game that's all about brain teasers and wordplay, but sometimes it feels more like a scavenger hunt than a puzzle 🤔. I love how they give you daily hints and answers, it's so helpful, especially for days when my brain just won't cooperate 😂. The theme this week is pretty interesting, I'm still thinking about what would describe a magnificent meal... has anyone else figured out all the words yet? 👀
 
I'm loving Strands so far! 🤔 They're like a never-ending puzzle party, right? I mean, daily guides all year round? That's dedication, I'll give 'em that. And the spangram twist is genius - it adds an extra layer of challenge and excitement to each day's game.

I'm having a bit of fun trying to figure out the theme today... "It's Not Polite to Lick Your Plate" is a good one, but it's making me think about more than just food-related words. I'm focusing on what would describe an amazing meal... Hmm, maybe something like... GOURMET? 🤞 Wouldn't that be a great fit for the spangram answer "GOODTASTE"?
 
Ugh, another mindless puzzle game to waste my time with... Strands, huh? Sounds like just another way for people to pretend they're solving something intelligent when really they're just matching letters around. I mean, "It's Not Polite to Lick Your Plate" as a theme? How original. And what's up with the daily puzzle guides? Like the game creator is trying to keep themselves busy while everyone else is stuck on it... or addicted, maybe 😒

And don't even get me started on the spangram. Word that spans two sides of the board, yadda yadda. Just a fancy way of saying "we can't be bothered to make this puzzle interesting". And the hints are just basic food words? How about some real challenge for once? 🤯
 
omg u gotta try this new puzzle game strands its so addictive i spent like 2 hours trying to figure out yesterday's theme and now im hooked 😂🤯 what i love about it is the spangram thing where ur words intersect in the middle its like a whole new level of challenge i need the daily guides from nytimes tho thats some serious dedication lol [link to Strands puzzle](https://www.nytimes.com/games/strands/puzzle)
