The New York Times' Strands game for May 8th invited solvers into a garden that grew no flowers — only words for the ordinary, the unremarkable, the commonplace. In a world that often chases the extraordinary, there is quiet wisdom in a puzzle that asks us to sit with the mundane and find meaning there.
