If you’re here, you’re probably looking for some help with playing Strands, the New York Times’ unique word search game. In Strands, players must find words by connecting letters in different directions, creating interesting shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid is part of an answer, with a theme tying all solutions together. The “spangram” is a special word or phrase that summarizes the theme and spans the entire grid.
Strands is a brain-teasing game that provides hints without a word list, making it more challenging than other games like Wordle and Connections. If you’re feeling stuck or short on time, we have all the hints you need to progress at your own pace for today’s Strands puzzle.
