ForbesNYT “Strands” Clues, Spangrams, and Answers for Tuesday, July 9

I always call Thursday “Thor Day” these days, mostly because I think it’s more fun. And more interesting. And more nerdy. All of that. I just like to think about how days and months—how time itself—is shaped by gods and emperors of the past, and by seasons and celestial bodies. It reminds us how small we are, but not in a bad way. We’re part of something bigger, something that’s been going on for a long time and will, I hope, continue long after we’re gone.

Anyway, we’re here to solve today’s Strands puzzle. The latest game on the NYT Games App is a lot of fun, a classic twist on the word search games we used to play as kids. The big difference? Each letter in the grid belongs to a word, and each word belongs to a theme.

Let’s tackle today’s puzzle, shall we?

What is today’s Strands Index?

Scroll slowly! Just after today’s index Strands puzzle, I will reveal what the answer words are.

Here is an additional thematic clue to help you find the solution: Do not boil them, mash them, or stew them if you want to eat them that way.

What are today’s Strands responses?

Spoiler alert! Don’t scroll further until you’re ready to discover the Strands answers.

I’ll give you a few hints for each word before showing you the answers, although this was a pretty easy Strands, especially if you’re young at heart. Here are the first two letters of each word so you can try to guess them first:

After typing this I realized that THREE words start with CH and the rest all start with B (two with BA). Weird!

Today’s Strand Breakdown

I solved this in less than a minute, probably because I’m too greedy, maybe, but definitely someone who likes to eat too much. First I found BUTTER, then I immediately found BAKED POTATO, which I already suspected because of the “Loaded” mention in the clue. From there, CHILI, BACON, and CHIVES. The BROCCOLI confused me because I don’t think I’ve ever had it in a loaded baked potato, but maybe I just don’t remember. Then CHEDDAR CHEESE and that’s it! No hints needed!
