NYT Threads Hints and Answers for December 4, 2025

Hints for the NYT Strands today are straightforward if you take charge.

Strands, the New York Times‘ sophisticated word-search challenge, offers players a spin on the conventional word search. You can form words from adjoining letters — vertically, horizontally, diagonally, and even change directions, resulting in distinctive shapes and designs. Each letter in the grid contributes to an answer. A theme links each solution, accompanied by the “spangram,” which is a special word or phrase that represents that day’s theme and stretches across the entire grid either horizontally or vertically.
