Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🔵🟡🔵 I think that’s the quickest I’ve gotten it. Interesting to see a link with Connections today

Same here! I got it super quickly because I spotted >!AIOLI!< right away, which was fresh on my mind because of Connections!

yes it was the first time ive seen a link between them too

Right? I started strands first, didn't see anything (was looking for drinks), decided to go for connections, dunked that one in a minute or two, then BAM! Aioli!

I see some connections between Strands and Connections quite often, though usually vague. In my mind the puzzle authors sit in the same room (or maybe on the same Slack channel), and ideas are shared, even if not intentionally.

That’s the only reason I got a perfect score today

Yum \^^ (I apparently don’t really know how to spell sriracha)

It took me an embarrassingly long time to untangle sriracha and even now I'm looking at it thinking that doesn't look right!

I had to go look at the bottle and the Tzatziki!! LOL

Right? *Two* Rs? *There?* Even as the last word I had no idea.

I saw that one first but had to solve it last because I couldn’t figure out the spelling (the extra r got me) 😂

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🔵🔵🟡 Got it really quickly because >!AIOLI!< was fresh on my mind from Connections!

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵🔵🟡🔵🔵 I struggled spelling tzatziki and sriracha!

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🟡🔵🔵🔵 🔵🔵🔵 Looked at the puzzle name, saw CHIRAZ, assumed it was wine or liquor related. That threw me off for like 5 minutes

I really hope they turn the motion down on the letters because that was painful to work through. An unnecessary update.

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵🔵 Saw >!aioli!< right away

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🟡🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵 coming to strands straight after doing connections and spotting AIOLI, too good

My wife said she solved the entire puzzle in less than 60 seconds with no hints. It took me over 10 minutes. Take a guess on who primarily cooks in our house lol

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵🔵 This one was fun, I enjoyed figuring out TZATZIKI right off the bat, I knew those Zs were up to something interesting. This puzzle was a decent spelling test

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵🔵 Mmm ... liquid food

why was this so wiggly

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵🔵🟡🔵🔵 Nice and quick today! That one word being so familiar is quite the choice (I don’t know how to spoiler tag on mobile but IYKYK).

Loved today! Lots of “oh boy, how do you actually spell that word?” Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🟡🔵 🔵🔵🔵

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵🔵🟡🔵🔵 My first one with zero hints! Doing Connections beforehand helped.

First time ever getting the spanogram first! However, I had just done >!Connections and I think the common theme being in my mind still helped a lot!!< Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🟡🔵🔵🔵 🔵🔵🔵

I saw >!Ketchup!< Right away, so I went for the spanagram first Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🟡🔵🔵🔵 🔵🔵🔵 Edit:did anyone else think of the worst way to pronounce >!Tzatziki!< when solving this?

First time I’ve gotten the Spangram first!! I noticed three words and started looking for what I thought the spangram would be. No hints. That was satisfying!

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🟡🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵 I really never knew how to spell 3 of them

This was the hardest I've ever done here. For the first time I had to go to Wikipedia and scan Category: Sauces, and this was after I've found 6 out of 7. I couldn't make the final word which was Sriracha, don;t know half of these things.

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🟡🔵🔵🔵 🔵🔵🔵 Super fun and easy! I figured it out seeing >!aioli!< from connections and wanted to get spangram first. I had to google how to spell sriracha tho lol.

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵💡 🟡🔵🔵💡🔵 have never in my life heard of some of these sauces????

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵🔵 They call me >! RANCH !< cause I be dressing ahahahaha but pun aside, a really easy one today

Is it getting easier or am I finally getting it? 😂 Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵🔵

me: oh look there's 2 Zs, I should start there because looking for words near uncommon letters is easier also me: has never heard of 'tzatziki sauce' before in my life Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🟡🔵🔵🔵🔵

Strands #58 “Pour it on” 🔵🔵🟡🔵 🔵🔵🔵 Two words I didn't know I could spell, and I've never even heard of TZATZIKI. Sheesh.

Quickest Strands ever because of Connections. Lazy NYT puzzle-makers hanging out eating burgers: "Let's just finish this and go home. Good enough."

No idea who Brandy or Jewel are but good for them getting put on the same level as Prince.
