Hints for today’s NYT Strands are straightforward if you appreciate numbers.
Strands, the New York Times‘ refined word-search experience, presents players with a reimagined word search. Words can be constructed from adjacent letters in any direction, including diagonals, and may shift direction, resulting in distinctive shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid contributes to a solution. Every puzzle is themed, linking all solutions together, along with the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that embodies the day’s theme and spans the grid either horizontally or vertically.
