How to play NYT Strands?

NYT Strands is a word-finding puzzle where you connect letters on a grid to form words. Find all the theme words that relate to the given clue, plus the special "spangram" word that spans from one side of the grid to the opposite side. Words are formed by connecting adjacent letters (including diagonally).

What is a spangram in NYT Strands?

A spangram is a special word that spans from one side of the grid to the opposite side. It's usually longer than the theme words and often provides a hint about the puzzle's theme. Finding the spangram can help you identify the other theme words.

How many theme words are there?

NYT Strands typically has 6-8 theme words plus the spangram. All theme words relate to the given clue. Once you find all theme words and the spangram, any remaining letters should form additional valid words.

What are the best strategies for solving NYT Strands?

Start by looking for the spangram as it often reveals the theme. Look for common word patterns and endings. Think about the theme clue both literally and figuratively. Use the hint system if you find non-theme words. Work systematically from corners and edges.
