Strands<\/strong> is the latest puzzle game from the New York Times, offering a fun twist on the classic word search. You\u2019ll need to keep your eyes peeled and your brain sharp to tackle this challenge!<\/p>\n

How to Play Strands<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Each Strands puzzle starts with a grid filled with letters, and your goal is to uncover the hidden \u201ctheme words.\u201d You can drag or tap the letters to form words, and just double-tap the last letter to confirm your selection. When you find a correct word, those letters will turn blue and can\u2019t be selected again.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t worry if you stumble upon words that aren\u2019t part of the theme. Finding three non-theme words (that are at least four letters long) earns you a hint: a letter from one of the theme words will be revealed, and you\u2019ll need to unscramble it.<\/p>\n

The cool thing about Strands is that every letter in the grid is used to spell out the theme words, and there\u2019s no overlap\u2014each letter appears only once.<\/p>\n

Also, every puzzle includes a \u201cspangram,\u201d which is a special word (or words) that connects two opposite sides of the board and relates to the overall theme. When you find the spangram, it will be highlighted in yellow.<\/p>\n

Your goal is to solve the puzzle quickly while using as few hints as possible!<\/p>\n
