If you have been left feeling like a well-used sponge while trying to solve today’s puzzle, you may want to try a few hints to see if that helps you reset. Today’s puzzle is another that could be challenging or could be easy, depending on your knowledge of the subject. This one was a close call for me, mainly because there were a couple of words that were tricky and could go in a different category. Now I can help you get the clues you need to avoid that close game.

If you like looking for words, then you will also like word-search puzzle. It is very much like the ones I used to play as a child, but there are some twists that make it more mature than the others. There is a golden word or phrase that if found will give you a big hint, but this one will stretch from one side of the puzzle to another, making it hard to spot. Additionally, the puzzles have short phrases as well as singular words, which can add to the difficulty even if you are in familiar territory.

Finding your rhythm in any puzzle can be hard until you get going, which is why it is helpful to have a few hints when you need them. Or, you may start out flying through the categories only to get stuck halfway through and feel like you should know what you’re looking at. Either way, if you need these hints because you can’t get started or you got stuck, here are four that will help you understand what the categories are:

Wordle, the popular word-guessing game hosted by The New York Times, has over 1,700 words remaining as possible solutions.

If you still feel stuck,learning what the category names are will lift you out of the rut.

KINDS OF SHIRTS

SPHERES IN MILK TEA

MARINE INVERTEBRATES, FAMILIARLY

STARTS OF PASTA NAMES

KINDS OF SHIRTS

FLANNEL

OXFORD

POLO

TEE

This category was a little hard to spot at first, but it was still the first one I solved. OXFORD caught my eye right away, seeing as I spent a summer in the city with the same name, and I looked around to see what else might go with it.
