If youre reading this, youre looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times elevated word-search game.
Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. Theres always a theme linking every solution, along with the spangram, a special, word or phrase that sums up that days theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.
If youre feeling stuck or just dont have 10 or more minutes to figure out todays puzzle, weve got all the NYT Strands hints for todays puzzle you need to progress at your preferrined pace.
