NYT Strands hints and answers for Wednesday, April 16 (game #409) | usagoldmines.com

Looking for a different day?

A new NYT Strands puzzle appears at midnight each day for your time zone – which means that some people are always playing ‘today’s game’ while others are playing ‘yesterday’s’. If you’re looking for Tuesday’s puzzle instead then click here: NYT Strands hints and answers for Tuesday, April 15 (game #408).

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 #409, are…

  • DRIVER
  • WEDGE
  • IRON
  • PUTTER
  • WOOD
  • CHIPPER
  • UTILITY
  • SPANGRAM: GOLF CLUBS

  • My rating: Easy
  • My score: Perfect

A belated tribute to the Masters, perhaps. Although, like happy hours, there’s always a major golf tournament going on somewhere in the world, so maybe Strands is bigging up the Chinese Open, which begins in Shanghai tomorrow (thanks, Google).

Not being much of a golf person, I had never heard of a UTILITY club before, but it makes sense to have one club that’s a hybrid of different clubs that you can use if you don’t know what to select.

Despite my lack of real-world experience, I completed today’s round without the need for a hint. Amazing what you can learn from watching the final hour of a four-day event.

How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.


Yesterday’s NYT Strands answers (Tuesday, 15 April, game #408)

  • SPANGRAM: MICRO BREWERY
