It\u2019s a bit more challenging, so you\u2019ll need sharp eyes and a good strategy to solve it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>How to Play NYT Strands<\/h3>\n<p>In each game of Strands, your objective is to uncover specific \u201ctheme words\u201d hidden within a grid of letters. To do this, drag or tap the letters to form words, and when you\u2019re done, double-tap the last letter to confirm. If you\u2019ve found a theme word, it will turn blue, and the letters won\u2019t be usable anymore.<\/p>\n<p>If you spot words that aren\u2019t theme words, don\u2019t worry\u2014they\u2019re still useful! For every three extra words that are at least four letters long, you\u2019ll get a hint, which reveals letters from one of the theme words. All you\u2019ll have to do is unscramble those letters to uncover it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an extra challenge: every letter in the grid will be used exactly once, and none of the words will overlap. One of the special features of Strands is the <strong>spangram<\/strong>\u2014a long theme word that stretches across the puzzle from one side to the other, giving you a big hint about the theme.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Hint for Today\u2019s NYT Strands Puzzle<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re stuck on today\u2019s Strands puzzle, here\u2019s a hint: today\u2019s theme revolves around <strong>\u201cWords with weight\u201d<\/strong>.
