What is NYT Strands Puzzle Game?

NYT Strands is a dynamic word puzzle game developed by The New York Times Games team. Players connect letters in a 6x8 grid to find theme words related to a daily topic, plus the special spangram that touches opposite sides of the board and embodies the puzzle's central theme.

Each Strands puzzle combines elements from popular NYT games like Wordle and Spelling Bee. Theme words are highlighted in blue when found, while the spangram appears in yellow. The game requires no subscription and offers unlimited daily challenges for word puzzle enthusiasts.
