Strands, the New York Times‘ elegant word-search game, offers players a new twist on the classic word search. Words can be created from interconnected letters in any direction, and they are allowed to shift directions, resulting in distinctive shapes. Each letter within the grid contributes to a solution. A theme connects all the answers, alongside the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that represents the day’s theme, stretching across the grid either horizontally or vertically.
