If you’re here, you must be looking for some help with playing Strands, the elevated word-search game from the New York Times. Strands puts a new twist on the classic word search by allowing words to be formed from linked letters in any direction, creating unique shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid is part of an answer, all tied together by a theme and a special “spangram” that spans the entire grid.
Struggling to solve today’s puzzle? Don’t worry, we’ve got all the hints you need to keep moving forward at your own pace. The theme for today is music-related, with words inspired by a popular nursery rhyme. And if you’re wondering about the spangram, it’s oriented horizontally, with the answer being “Garden.”
