If you’ve arrived here, it’s likely that you’re seeking assistance with Strands, the New York Times’ refined approach to the traditional word search.
Strands invites players to uncover words by linking letters in any direction — whether up, down, left, right, or diagonally. The unique aspect? Words can change direction unexpectedly, forming intriguing shapes throughout the board. Every letter in the grid contributes to a solution. Each puzzle is centered around a particular theme, and there’s always a special word or phrase known as the “spangram” that encapsulates the theme and spans the grid either horizontally or vertically.

In contrast to Wordle or Connections, Strands doesn’t supply a list of words to locate. Instead, it provides a general hint, making it somewhat more of a mental challenge — and frequently a lengthier endeavor.
If you find yourself at a standstill or simply lack the time to dedicate 10+ minutes solving it, don’t fret — we have all the hints and solutions you need for today’s NYT Strands puzzle.
