If you are viewing this, you are looking for help with Strands, the sophisticated word-search game by the New York Times.

Strands offers players a distinctive spin on the classic word search. Words can be created from adjoining letters in any orientation, even altering direction to form irregular patterns. Each letter within the grid contributes to a solution. A theme connects all solutions, accompanied by the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that embodies the day’s theme and stretches across the grid either horizontally or vertically.

By providing a vague clue and excluding the word list, Strands delivers a challenging game that requires more time to solve compared to other games like Wordle and Connections.

If you find yourself perplexed or pressed for time, we have all the NYT Strands tips you need to advance at your own pace.
