NYT Strands Answer: Tired of playing Wordle over and over again? The New York Times has introduced a fresh challenge called Strands, a word puzzle designed to test your vocabulary skills in a whole new way. Unlike Wordle, Strands requires players to uncover six to eight words hidden within a scrambled grid of letters, all tied together by a common theme. While the game maintains the NYT’s signature casual and accessible design, it’s anything but easy — prepare to put your brain to work!
NYT Strands: Where To Access
Edited by Tracy Bennett, the same curator behind Wordle, a new game of Strands can be accessed every day on the Games section of the NYT website.
NYT Strands: How To Play
You start with a 6x8 grid of 54 letters. What you need to do is select a chain of letters you think makes a word. That's about the gist of the main gameplay.
Now, these words aren’t random, each of them is based on a daily theme. This theme will be shown in a box dubbed Today’s Theme on the left-hand side of the screen.
Based on that theme, you need to identify six to eight words every day.
Now, there is a fun element called Spangram. This is a hidden theme that only reveals itself when you find all six words.
Why Spangram, you ask? Well, the word spans the entirety of the grid. Add ‘span’ to ‘anagram’, and et voilà! You get Spangram.
