Each day, the New York Times Strands puzzle offers a quiet invitation to look past the surface of language and find meaning in the mundane. Friday's edition, themed 'Garden variety,' turns the concept of ordinariness into its own subject — asking players to recognize the many words we use to describe the unremarkable. In a culture that prizes the exceptional, there is something gently philosophical about a puzzle that celebrates the common, the prosaic, the run-of-the-mill.
