NYT Strands Answer: Feeling tired of playing Wordle every day? The New York Times has introduced Strands, a fresh word puzzle designed to challenge your vocabulary. Unlike Wordle, Strands tasks you with uncovering six to eight words hidden within a tangled grid of letters, all linked by a common theme. While the NYT has kept the game simple and accessible, don’t underestimate it—it’s sure to give your brain a serious workout!
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.
