Hints for the September 25 puzzle
Spangram length and location
The spangram has 10 letters. It crosses the third row and touches both the left and right edges of the board. AllThingsHow describes it as starting at the first H in that row and ending at its last T.
Clue words for in-game hints
TechRadar suggests trying DARE, THEN, DENSE, MALE, GRASS, and CRAM as non-answer guesses to earn in-game hints. These are guide-suggested guesses, not a verified official NYT clue list.
AllThingsHow describes the hint process as follows: valid four-letter guesses that are not answers add progress, and three unlock a hint. The first hint highlights the next answer’s letters; using another hint on that same word reveals its path letter by letter. This is the guide’s description of the mechanic.
