If you’re viewing this, you’re looking for help with Strands, the New York Times‘ advanced word-search game.

Strands invites players to rethink the conventional word search. Words can be created from adjacent letters — vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and can also switch directions, forming distinctive shapes and designs. Every letter in the grid contributes to a solution. A theme consistently connects all answers, alongside the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that encompasses the day’s theme, stretching across the entire grid either horizontally or vertically.

By presenting an ambiguous hint and omitting the word list, Strands offers a mind-bending game that typically requires more time to play than alternatives like Wordle and Connections.

If you’re having difficulty or lack 10 or more minutes to crack today’s puzzle, we have all the NYT Strands hints you require to advance at your own speed.
