What is NYT Strands?
NYT Strands is a daily word puzzle game from The New York Times that challenges you to find hidden words in a grid of letters. Each puzzle follows a specific theme, and all the words you discover are related to that theme.
The highlight of each puzzle is the Spangram - a special word that uses letters from opposite sides of the board and perfectly captures the puzzle's theme. Finding the Spangram is often the key to unlocking the rest of the puzzle.
Strands combines elements of word search, anagrams, and themed word games into a unique daily challenge that has captivated word puzzle enthusiasts around the world.
