Strands is an exciting new daily puzzle from the New York Times that offers a fresh twist on the classic word search! Here’s a breakdown of how to play and the answers for today.

 

How to Play NYT Strands

  1. Goal: Find the “theme words” hidden within the letter grid.
  2. Gameplay:
    • Manipulate letters by dragging or tapping to create words.
    • Double-tap the final letter to confirm.
    • If you find a correct word, the letters will turn blue and become unselectable.
  3. Hints:
    • For every three non-theme words you discover that are at least four letters long, you earn a hint revealing letters from one of the theme words.
  4. Spangram: Each puzzle features a special theme word (or words) that connects two opposite sides of the grid. Finding this will be highlighted in yellow.
  5. Letter Usage: Every letter is used only once in the puzzle, and there is no overlap among theme words.
