Strands is the latest word puzzle game from The New York Times, joining Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Connections. Strands is a modern, simple, and enjoyable way to test your observation, vocabulary, and reasoning.
You'll receive a word grid with a mysterious theme each day and must find all the words linked to that theme and a spangram, a keyword that gives the topic's full meaning.
Discover the “spangram”—a lengthy word that stretches across the word grid and contains the main topic—by finding words related to a hidden theme.
Rules
Create words by connecting letters horizontally, vertically, and diagonally.
Each letter is limited to one word.
Highlight and lock themed words on the grid.
Finding the right spangram splits the board into two sections, making it easier to find the remaining words.
Features
Daily puzzles.
For easier grid viewing, use the “Shuffle” button to swap letters.
You can write random words to earn hint points if you get stuck.
