How to play Strands
Strands is the New York Times word-search puzzle. Every day you get a 6×8 grid of letters and a theme. Find all the theme words hidden in the grid — they can bend in any direction — and the one spangram, a longer word or phrase that touches two opposite sides and sums up the theme. Drag across letters to select a word; a correct theme word turns blue and the spangram turns yellow. Stuck? Every three non-theme words you find unlocks a hint.
Strands is a free daily word game from The New York Times, alongside Wordle, Connections and the Spelling Bee. Play it in the NYT Games app or on the web. This is an independent reference — not affiliated with The New York Times — that keeps a searchable record of every day’s theme, spangram and words.
