If you’re reading this, you’re looking for assistance in playing Strands, the New York Times’ elevated word-search game.
Strands is a unique twist on the classic word search, where words can be formed from linked letters in various directions, creating interesting shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid is part of an answer, with a unifying theme connecting all solutions. Additionally, there is a “spangram” that summarizes the theme of the day, spanning the entire grid either horizontally or vertically.
By offering only a cryptic hint and withholding the word list, Strands presents a challenging game that requires more time and thought compared to other games like Wordle and Connections.
For those feeling stuck or pressed for time, we provide all the NYT Strands hints for today’s puzzle to help you progress at your own pace.
