If you’re here, it’s likely because you’re seeking assistance with Strands, the New York Times‘ innovative twist on the classic word-search game. This game elevates the traditional format, requiring players to think outside the box and engage their cognitive skills.
In Strands, words are crafted from interconnected letters that can be arranged in various directions — whether up, down, left, right, or even diagonally. The game introduces an added level of complexity by allowing words to change direction, creating unique shapes and patterns. Every letter in the grid contributes to an answer, ensuring that players explore every possibility. Furthermore, there’s always a thematic connection among the solutions, along with the “spangram,” which is a special word or phrase that encapsulates that day’s theme and spans the entire grid either horizontally or vertically.
