What are NYT Strands and How to Play?
In NYT Strands, players need to search for words that are linked to a common theme in a 6x8 letter grid. You can form words by either swiping across the letters or tapping them individually. If you are using taps, make sure to double-tap the final letter to submit your word. Correct theme words remain highlighted in blue. Meanwhile, if you find a word that is not related to the theme of the day, then it gets converted to a hint and after unlocking 3 hints, the puzzle offers you one word for the day’s puzzle. Your objective is to uncover all of the theme related words without overlapping.
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.
