Move aside Wordle, Connections, and Mini Crossword—there’s a new NYT word game in town! The New York Times has introduced a new game called “Strands,” gaining popularity as another daily activity for fans on the NYT website and app.
With daily themes and “spangrams” to uncover, Strands has quickly become the latest addictive game to check off your to-do list before the next one emerges 24 hours later.
So, how exactly do you play Strands? According to the New York Times, players must find theme words to fill the board. Theme words are highlighted in blue once discovered and must completely fill the board without overlapping. Additionally, players must uncover the “spangram,” a puzzle theme that touches two opposite sides of the board and highlights in yellow when found.
Looking for a hint? Non-theme words can provide clues, with every three non-theme words found earning a hint. Hints reveal the letters of a theme word, assisting players in solving the puzzle.
Today’s Strands game hint revolves around a “sweet tooth,” with a clue related to Halloween treats.
In today’s puzzle, players must find six theme words, including the spangram. The first two letters of each word are revealed to guide players on their journey.
