The hints for today’s NYT Strands will lead you through the core of today’s puzzle.

Strands, the New York Times‘ elegant word-search challenge, invites participants to engage in a reimagined version of the classic word search. Words can emerge from interconnected letters in any orientation, including diagonally, and can take different paths, forming distinctive shapes and designs. Each letter found within the grid contributes to an answer. All solutions share a common theme, accompanied by the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that embodies today’s theme and stretches across the grid either horizontally or vertically.

By providing a vague hint and omitting the word list, Strands offers a mind-bending ordeal that tends to occupy more time than other games like Wordle and Connections.

If you find yourself in a bind or pressed for time, we’ve compiled all the NYT Strands hints for today’s puzzle to assist you in advancing at your own rhythm.
