Hints for today’s NYT Strands are straightforward if you appreciate extras.

Strands, the New York Times‘ sophisticated word-search game, presents players with a twist on the conventional word search. Words can be created from adjacent letters in any direction, even diagonally, and may alter direction, forming distinctive shapes and designs. Each letter in the grid contributes to an answer. A theme links all solutions, along with the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that captures the day’s theme and stretches across the entire grid either horizontally or vertically.

By providing a vague hint and excluding the word list, Strands delivers a demanding game that requires more time to complete compared to its other games, such as Wordle and Connections.

If you’re at a standstill or lack 10 or more minutes to tackle today’s puzzle, we have all the NYT Strands hints you require to move forward at your own speed.
