If you love dancing, the NYT Strands hints for today should be a piece of cake.

Strands, the New York Times‘ elegant word-search game, offers players a fresh take on the classic word search. Players form words by linking letters in any direction—upward, downward, sideways, or diagonal—and can shift directions, producing distinct shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid is integral to a solution. Every game features a theme that ties all answers together, and includes a “spangram,” a particular word or phrase that embodies the day’s theme and stretches across the entire grid either horizontally or vertically.

By presenting a vague hint and leaving out the word list, Strands designs a difficult game that requires more time to finish compared to other games such as Wordle and Connections.

If you’re facing a challenge or pressed for time, we’ve compiled all the NYT Strands hints for today’s puzzle so that you can move forward at your own speed.
