										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Need a bit of help with NYT Strands today? No shame in that, and you&#8217;ve come to the right place.&#8221; This opening line sets the tone for an intriguing puzzle experience on May 3, 2026. Today&#8217;s <strong>NYT Strands</strong> puzzle features a theme that plays on the word &#8216;fishy&#8217;, leading to answers that evoke unusual and strange characteristics.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s theme is: <em>Something&#8217;s fishy</em>. The spangram for game #791 is <strong>THATSODD</strong>, which cleverly encapsulates the essence of this puzzle. The answers for game #791 include STRANGE, UNUSUAL, BIZARRE, QUIRKY, WEIRD, and PECULIAR. These terms not only fit the theme but also reflect the quirky nature of language itself.</p>
<p>The unofficial hint for this game is simply &#8220;How unexpected&#8221;—a nod to the surprising nature of the clues involved. The clue words for game #791 are QUARK, REAL, STRAND, SWEARS, TRAINS, WATER, QUARTER, and TRIES. Each word adds layers to the puzzle&#8217;s complexity.</p>
<p>That context matters because it helps players appreciate how each clue contributes to the overall theme. For instance, the suspicious &#8216;Z&#8217; was part of BIZARRE, with the unusual &#8216;Q&#8217; at the beginning of QUIRKY below it. It&#8217;s actually the &#8216;suspicious&#8217; meaning of &#8216;fishy&#8217;, as I discovered when I found STRANGE in the top-left corner.</p>
<p>The spangram touches two opposite sides of the board, starting with &#8216;T&#8217; and ending in &#8216;D&#8217;. This unique structure adds an additional layer of challenge for seasoned puzzlers and newcomers alike. Game #791 follows closely on the heels of game #790, which had a different theme: <em>All the right moves</em>, featuring a spangram of LINEDANCE.</p>
<p>As players dive into today&#8217;s puzzle, they will find themselves navigating through an array of clever clues designed to stimulate both thought and creativity. Engaging with these puzzles not only sharpens one’s mind but also fosters a sense of community among fellow enthusiasts who share tips and strategies.</p>
<p>The excitement surrounding NYT Strands puzzles continues to grow as players eagerly anticipate each new installment. With game #791 now live, fans can look forward to more intriguing themes in future editions.</p>
