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 twist on the classic word search by allowing words to be formed from linked letters in various directions, creating quirky 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.
Strands is a brain-teasing game that requires a bit more time to solve compared to other games like Wordle and Connections. If you’re feeling stuck or short on time, we’ve got all the hints you need to progress at your own pace.
