In search of assistance with today’s Strands puzzle from The New York Times? You’ve come to the right spot.

Strands offers a modern twist on the traditional word search format. Unlike conventional puzzles, Strands allows you to create words by connecting letters in any direction — upwards, downwards, sideways, or diagonally — and even permits changes in direction within a word. Every letter in the grid contributes to a solution, and all the words revolve around a central theme. A unique word or phrase, referred to as the “spangram,” represents the theme and spans either horizontally or vertically across the grid.

Strands differentiates itself from other NYT games like Wordle and Connections by providing a more difficult challenge. With only a vague clue and no word list available, it’s a genuine brain teaser that may require a bit more time to crack.

If you’re pressed for time or simply need a little push in the right direction, we have all the hints and solutions you require for today’s Strands puzzle.
