What is NYT Strands and How To Play It
Strands NYT Hints is a captivating blend of Spelling Bee, Connections, and classic Crosswords. Every day, players are given 48 letters on a 6 x 8 board and a theme. The task? To uncover the Spangram and all the theme words.
Steps for Solving the Puzzle
Discover Theme Words
Fill the board entirely with the thematic answers. They are highlighted in blue when found and they don't overlap
Reveal the Spangram
Search for the Spangram, a crucial puzzle element touching two opposite sides of the board. It encapsulates the theme and may consist of two words. It is highlighted in yellow when found.
Earn Hints
Need a nudge in the right direction? Find non-theme words to earn hints. For every 3 non-theme words you uncover, a hint will highlight the letters to find a theme word without revealing the word directly.
