If you’re looking at this, you’re in need of help with Strands, the New York Times‘ advanced word-search puzzle.

Strands puts players to the test with a modification of the classic word search. Words can be crafted from adjacent letters in any possible orientation, including diagonals, and can shift direction, making for distinct shapes and configurations. Each letter in the grid contributes to a solution. A theme links all responses, alongside the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that summarizes the day’s theme and stretches across the entire grid either horizontally or vertically.

By providing a vague clue and leaving out the list of words, Strands offers a mentally stimulating experience that may take longer to complete compared to other games like Wordle and Connections.

If you’re having trouble or pressed for time, we have all the NYT Strands hints for today’s puzzle to assist you in moving forward at your own pace.
