New York Times Daily Games Release June 21 2026 Answers and Hints

On June 21, 2026 the New York Times published solutions for several of its daily puzzle games.

For the Strands word‑search game the theme clue was “That’s Included!” and the spanning spangram read “Hotel Amenities”. The six theme words identified were SAFE, INTERNET, LAUNDRY, BREAKFAST, FRIDGE and another word linked to guest services.

The Connections grouping puzzle (#1106) offered four categories: a weather set (DRIZZLE, RAIN, SHOWERS, SPRINKLES), a verb‑overwhelm set (FLOORS, ROCKS, STUNS, SURPRISES), an NBC sitcom set (COMMUNITY, FRIENDS, SCRUBS, WINGS) and a word‑play set where each answer begins with a mild insult prefix (BARBADOS, DIGGITY, DISSECT, SLAPDASH).

The daily Wordle for the same date had the answer “ALIBI”, described as a claim of being elsewhere at the time of an alleged act.
