If you’re here, you’re probably in need of some help with Strands, the fancy word-search game from the New York Times.
Strands puts a fun twist on the traditional word search by allowing words to be formed in various directions and shapes within a grid. Each letter is crucial to finding an answer, and there’s always a theme to tie everything together along with a special “spangram” that sums up the theme.
Unlike other quick games like Wordle and Connections, Strands requires a bit more time and brainpower to solve. But don’t worry, if you’re feeling stuck or short on time, we’ve got all the hints you need to keep moving forward at your own pace.
### Today’s Theme: Let’s talk about horse colors!
The words in today’s Strands puzzle are all related to colors commonly found in horses.
### Spangram Clue: Up or down?
