If you are perusing this, you are looking for help with Strands, the New York Times‘ elegant word-search game.
Strands presents players with a distinctive twist on the traditional word search. Words may be constructed from adjacent letters in any orientation, including diagonally, and can shift direction, forming unusual silhouettes and designs. Each letter in the grid contributes to a solution. A central theme connects all solutions, in addition to the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that summarizes the day’s theme and spans the grid either horizontally or vertically.
