Strands is the New York Times word game where you hunt for hidden words in a jumble of letters — and every word belongs to one theme. It’s a slower, more thoughtful puzzle than Wordle, and it’s become a daily habit for a lot of players.
How Strands Works
You’re given a grid of letters and a clue for the day’s theme. Drag across letters to find theme words, and every word you find fills in part of the grid. The last word to find is the spangram — it stretches from one side of the grid to the other and sums up the whole theme.
