As part of their growing “Games” collection, the New York Times created the word game NYT Strands. The goal of this New York Times game is to connect letters on a six-by-eight grid to form a set of words with a related subject.
To get you started, the problem will provide you a topic for today’s NYT Strands. You can use the Spangram to create additional “theme” words related to this theme in addition to one “special” word. Because it moves across the grid in a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal pattern, this word or phrase serves as the key to unlock the other Strands theme words.

WINGS is an intriguing phenomenon. They used to be the part of a chicken that no one liked to eat, but now they are so popular that, whenever the store shelves are momentarily empty and news gets out that Domino’s is running low, people go crazy on social media for a few weeks each year.
It makes sense that there would be variations in supply. Americans ate 1.5 billion chicken wings over the Super Bowl weekend this year, up 20 million from the year before, according to the National Chicken Council.
