Sure, here is a more detailed paraphrasing of the text:Welcome to the start of a new week! After yesterday's Old Fashioned-themed puzzle, I made sure to grab one of those cocktails.

My partner tried it too, but she found the flavor a bit too intense.

That's okay; we don't have to agree on everything!The New York Times' puzzle is a twist on the classic word search.

It's now available in the NYT Games app alongside other games we cover in daily guides.

There's a new game to play every day.

The game presents you with a six-by-eight grid of letters.

The goal is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue about the theme.

When you find a theme word, it will stay highlighted in blue.

You'll also need to find a special word called a spangram, which tells you what the words have in common.

The spangram links at least two sides of the board, but it may not start or end there.

While the theme words won't be proper names, the spangram can be.

When you find the spangram, it will stay highlighted in yellow.

Every letter is used once in one of the theme words and the spangram.

You can connect letters vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, and you can change directions in the middle of a word.

If you're playing on a touchscreen, double-tap the last letter to submit your guess.

If you find three valid words of at least four letters that aren't part of the theme, you'll unlock the Hint button.

Clicking this will highlight the letters that make up one of the theme words.

Be warned: you'll need to stay alert.

Sometimes you'll need to fill in the missing word(s) in a phrase.

On other days, the game may revolve around synonyms or homophones.

The difficulty will vary from day to day, and the puzzle creators will try to surprise you sometimes.

Before I reveal the full word list, I'll first tell you the spangram and show you where it is on the grid.

I needed a hint to get started, so I unlocked one that gave me the letters for NOSE.

I quickly figured out what was going on and found the spangram.

EYEBROW in the top left and EARLOBE in the top right were next.

SEPTUM, TONGUE, NAVEL, and CHEEK wrapped things up.

That's all for today's clues and answers.

Be sure to check for hints and the solution for Tuesday's game if you need them.
