Every hint, nudge, and outright answer you need to complete today’s NYT Strands puzzle.
The New York Times‘ technical word-search game, Strands, is exactly what you’re looking for if you’re reading this.
At Strands, the player must carry out a modified version of the traditional word search. Up, down, left, right, and diagonal letters can be joined to form words, but words can also shift direction to create oddball patterns and forms. Each letter in the grid will be a component of a response. Every solution has a theme that connects them, as well as a “spangram,” which is a unique word or phrase that either horizontally or vertically spans the entire grid and expresses the theme of the day.
Strands makes a brainteaser that is a bit more difficult to play than its previous games, such as Wordle and Connections, by giving an opaque tip and not the word list.
We have all the NYT Strands hints you need to do today’s puzzle at your own pace if you’re feeling stuck or simply don’t have ten or more minutes to complete it.
