Today’s NYT Strands clues are simple if your vision isn’t clear.

Strands, the New York Times‘ elegant word-search game, tests players with a novel take on the classic word search. Words can be created using adjacent letters — vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and words can shift direction, forming distinctive shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid contributes to an answer. A theme ties together each solution, along with the “spangram,” a unique word or phrase that captures the day’s theme, covering the whole grid either horizontally or vertically.

By providing an ambiguous clue and omitting the word list, Strands presents a demanding game that requires more time than its counterparts, such as Wordle and Connections.

If you find yourself at an impasse or lack 10 or more minutes to tackle today’s puzzle, we offer all the NYT Strands clues for today’s challenge to aid you in moving forward at your own rate.
