Should you find yourself reading this, you’re likely in search of guidance regarding Strands, the New York Times‘ intricate word-search game.
Strands provides players with a novel take on the classic word search. Words can be crafted from adjacent letters in any orientation—up, down, left, right, or diagonal—and may shift direction, forming distinct shapes and designs. Each letter in the grid contributes to a solution. There is consistently a theme that links each answer, alongside the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that embodies the day’s theme and extends across the grid either horizontally or vertically.
