Word Salad tasks players with conjuring themed words from a letter grid, and the Daily Game gives you a new word game challenge to undertake every single morning.

While perhaps not as challenging as something like Strands, it's still tough to crack the game some days, and that's why having the answers here waiting for you can save you in those moments when your streak looks to be slipping away.

Hints for today's game

Even with the new theme every day it can still prove difficult to find all of the answers. You don't always want to have it simply revealed though, and that's where it helps to have a nudge in the right direction.

With today's hint being "Things With Straps" #227, here are hints for the answers:

• 7 letters, starting with 'S'
• 5 letters, starting with 'W'
• 7 letters, starting with 'H' 
• 6 letters, starting with 'G'
• 6 letters, starting with 'S' 

This still leaves things quite vague though, so if you're still feeling stumped then worry not as I've laid it all out for you below to ensure you can move on without losing your streak!

Today's answers for game #227

Here are the answers that you'll need to finish today's puzzle for October 13th, 2024, under the theme of "Things With Straps"

• Satchel
• Watch
• Handbag
• Guitar
• Sandal

You'll still need to find them on the grid, of course, which can prove quite challenging in of itself - but knowing what to look for certainly makes things a lot easier in the long run. Letters that can't be used anymore will also be removed, so if you can't spot one initially you should be able to find it as you pick out more words.

When does Word Salad reset?

A new daily game will become available at midnight in your local time zone, so make sure to check back in at that time or whenever you wake up in order to complete it and keep your streak going.

It's also super easy to go back and complete previous puzzles that you've not yet done, as there are old Daily games, alongside themed ones for Geography, Natural World, and US Sports if you've got a particular interest in those subjects.

How to play Word Salad

Word Salad presents you with a 4x4 grid with jumbled letters, and tasks you with finding all of the theme-related words hidden within. Themes can range from topics like 'Planets' to 'Zoo Animals' and 'Sports', so you'll definitely need to stay alert to catch all of the relevant words.

One neat trick is that letters that can no longer be used will disappear, making the game easier as you find new words, which I definitely appreciate down the line. This, theoretically, stops you from getting stuck on that final word - but don't be lulled into a false sense of security as it can still be tricky!

Furthermore, you can play the game either on the official website or through the dedicated app, giving you options if you prefer staying up to date on either platform. Do be warned though as streaks don't carry over between the two, so make sure to stick to the one place if you care about keeping it alive.

Now that you've got today's Word Salad answers, why not head over to our dedicated word games homepage too? We've got the answers for other titles like Connections, Spotle, and Conexo - letting you stay on top of your daily routines with ease.
