Strands is the NYT’s latest word game after the likes of Wordle, Spelling Bee and Connections – and it’s great fun. It can be difficult, though, so read on for my Strands hints.

The answers to today’s Strands, game #672, are…

MEDIUM
ORACLE
CLAIRVOYANT
TELEPATH
PSYCHIC
SPANGRAM: SIXTHSENSE

My rating: Hard
My score: 2 hints

This was one of those very difficult games where even getting a hint presented us with a challenge – especially for those of us for whom our spelling isn’t the greatest.

This was also an interesting game where several of the non-game words appeared to match up with the game words.

I was also struck by how many different words we have – regardless of whether you believe or not – for people who claim to be able to speak to those who have passed away and how none of them embrace modern technology. Deathly communications, it seems, have remained stubbornly analog.
