About NYT Strands

Strands is The New York Times' daily word-search game, edited by Tracy Bennett. Find the theme words hidden in the 6×8 letter board — words twist in any direction, every letter is used exactly once, and the special spangram describes the theme while touching two opposite sides of the board. Non-theme words earn hints.
