NYT Strands Puzzle #543 Unveils “Chatterbox” as Today’s Spangram
On Thursday, August 28, 2025, The New York Times released its daily Strands puzzle (#543), challenging players with a theme centered on incessant talkers. Titled “Do go on …,” the puzzle’s Spangram- the single word that spans the grid-was revealed as CHATTERBOX.
The five accompanying theme words all describe talkative individuals:
- GABBY
- TALKATIVE
- LOQUACIOUS
- VERBOSE
- VOLUBLE
Players widely noted that identifying “CHATTERBOX” early provided a crucial anchor for finding the remaining words, streamlining the solving process.
Strands, the Times’ latest word-grid game, continues to grow in popularity among enthusiasts seeking a deeper linguistic and thematic challenge beyond offerings like Wordle and Connections. Thursday’s edition received a moderate difficulty rating, with many solvers praising the clear thematic link once the Spangram was uncovered.
