The hints for today’s NYT Strands are straightforward if you’re interested in historical topics.

Strands, the New York Times‘ elegant word-search game, tests participants with a distinctive take on the classic word search. Words can be constructed from connected letters in any orientation, forming unique shapes and designs. Each letter in the grid contributes to a solution. Every puzzle features a theme that links all responses, along with the “spangram,” a specific word or phrase that embodies the day’s theme and stretches across the entire grid either horizontally or vertically.

By presenting an ambiguous hint and omitting a word list, Strands crafts a demanding game that typically requires more time to complete compared to others like Wordle and Connections.

If you find yourself in a bind or pressed for time, we have all the NYT Strands hints for today’s puzzle to assist you in making progress at your own speed.
