Your ultimate guide to mastering the daily NYT Strands puzzle.
What is NYT Strands?
Strands is a daily word search game created by The New York Times. The game challenges players to find words hidden in a grid of letters that relate to a specific daily theme.
How to Play Strands
The rules of Strands add unique twists to the classic word search:
- Find Theme Words: Connect adjacent letters to spell words that fit the day's theme.
- The Spangram: Every puzzle has a "Spangram" – a word or phrase that describes the theme and touches two opposite sides of the board.
- Hint System: Finding non-theme words fills a hint box. When full, you can reveal the location of a theme word.
