Each morning, a small puzzle arrives in the hands of those who seek a quiet challenge — and today's New York Times Strands asks players to dress themselves in language, hunting for the hidden components of a suit across a grid of scattered letters. The theme, 'Are you putting me on?', plays on the double meaning of donning clothes and being deceived, while the spangram SUITYOURSELF stitches the whole thing together. It is a gentle reminder that even leisure has its own grammar, its own rewards for patience over speed.
