Hey there, if you’re here to get some tips for playing Strands, the New York Times’ fancy word-search game, you’re in the right place.
This game puts a spin on the classic word search by allowing words to be formed from linked letters in all directions, creating cool shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid is part of an answer, and there’s always a theme tying everything together, including a special “spangram” that summarizes the theme and spans the whole grid.
Unlike other games like Wordle and Connections, Strands keeps you on your toes with opaque hints and no word list, making it a brain-teasing challenge that’s worth the extra time.
If you’re feeling stuck or just short on time, we’ve got your back with all the hints you need to keep moving forward at your own pace.
