Today’s NYT Strands puzzle is identified by published guides as game #733. Its theme clue is “That’s dedication,” and the reported spangram is YOURBIGGESTFAN. Try the hints below before opening the full answer list; published guides disagree on two of the theme words.
Today’s Strands hint
The theme clue reported for Friday, March 6, is “That’s dedication.” Parade’s gentler nudge is “I’m cheering you on.” Both clues point toward someone who is especially devoted to a person or interest. Parade and Lifehacker via Yahoo report the same theme and spangram.
Spangram hint
The spangram is a phrase for someone who supports or admires you above everyone else. Its letters are YOURBIGGESTFAN.
How to get another hint in Strands
Strands is a daily letter-grid puzzle: connect adjacent letters to form words tied to the theme, including a spangram that describes the theme and reaches opposite sides of the board. According to the guides, finding three qualifying non-theme words advances the hint meter and earns an in-game hint. You can play through the New York Times website or NYT Games app, as described by Parade and Lifehacker via Yahoo.
Full answer list for Strands #733
Spoilers below: the following list reveals the reported theme words for Friday, March 6, 2026.
- STAN
- LOVER
- DEVOTEE
- FOLLOWER
- ENTHUSIAST
- Spangram: YOURBIGGESTFAN
Parade and Lifehacker via Yahoo publish this five-word list, and Parade’s listed initials—ST, LO, DE, FO, and EN—match those answers. Other coverage differs: Yahoo Tech’s guide lists MANIAC and ADMIRER in place of LOVER and FOLLOWER, while Forbes reports LOVER and FOLLOWER. The available reports do not establish which list matches an official archived NYT board, so the five words above are the best-supported published consensus rather than independently verified board results.
