The answers to today's Strands, game #933, are…

  • SWITCH
  • CHANGEOVER
  • TRANSITION
  • PROGRESSION
  • SPANGRAM: FALLEQUINOX
  • My rating: Hard
  • My score: 1 hint

Even as I was collecting the words I still thought that the theme was about work and the moment when the day shift and the night shift swap over.

It wasn’t until I got the spangram — I had been ignoring the game’s two rare letters until then — that the penny finally dropped and I understood that the words were connected to what AI tells me is “the precise astronomical moment when the center of the Sun crosses Earth's equator, marking the official astronomical start of autumn”.

Every day’s a school day with Strands!

Yesterday's NYT Strands answers (Monday, September 21, game #932)

  • NEON
  • LYCRA
  • GRUNGE
  • SCRUNCHIES
  • TRACKSUITS
  • SPANGRAM: NINETIESTREND

GoPro's new vlogging grip will triple your Hero 10 Black’s battery life GoPro's action cams are already versatile little outdoor companions, but now the company wants to turn them into the best vlogging cameras around with a new battery grip accessory and Hero 10 Black bundle. (Looking to jump to our verdict on GoPro's new grip? Head to our full GoPro Volta review ). The new Volta grip, which you can buy on its own or as part of a new Hero 10 Black Creator Edition bundle, combines a battery-equipped handle, tripod, and wireless controller in one handy accessory. It's mainly designed for the Hero 10 Black and Hero 9 Black, which benefit from its remote control powers, but it will also charge and mount with older GoPros. One of the main benefits of the Volta for vloggers and YouTubers is a significantly boosted battery life for their action cam. On the Hero 10 Black, for example, it'll jump up from 74 minutes (when shooting 5.3K/30p video) to over four hours whe...
