About Today's NYT Strands
NYT Strands is a word search game with a twist. Find themed words hidden in a 6×8 letter grid — every letter will eventually be used. The crown jewel is the spangram, a word or phrase that spans the entire grid and captures the puzzle's theme.
How to Use These Strands Hints
- Level 1 — Gentle Hint: A vague clue about today's theme.
- Level 2 — Directional Hint: More specific details about the theme category and word count.
- Level 3 — Near-Spoiler: A strong hint toward the spangram, which is the key to unlocking the whole board.
- Reveal Spangram: The full spangram and all theme words revealed.
What Is a Spangram?
The spangram is a special word (or phrase) that touches two opposite sides of the grid and captures the daily theme. Finding it first makes the rest of the puzzle much easier, because it reveals how the remaining words connect.
