Each day, a small puzzle arrives on millions of screens, asking people to find order in a grid of letters — and in doing so, to briefly share the same mental space. On June 27, the New York Times' Strands puzzle turned its gaze toward the places people call home, threading the word 'Apartments' across its grid and surrounding it with the vocabulary of urban shelter: loft, studio, flat, efficiency, condo, penthouse. Mashable stood ready for those who needed a guide, honoring the quiet truth that engagement with a thing need not always mean conquering it alone.
