What are NYT Strands and How to Play?
In NYT Strands, players search for words connected to a central theme within a 6x8 letter grid. You can form words by either swiping across the letters or tapping them individually. If using taps, double-tap the final letter to submit your word. Correct theme words remain highlighted in blue, and the objective is to uncover all of them without overlap, filling the entire board.
Each puzzle also features a special word called the Spangram, which ties into the theme and spans from one side of the grid to the other. The real challenge lies in identifying and selecting the right words that fit the theme, making for a fun and engaging puzzle experience.
