Strands is a free daily word puzzle from The New York Times. Each day, you get a theme and a letter grid where you must find hidden words. Like Wordle and Connections, it refreshes at midnight with a new puzzle.
You get a 6×8 grid of letters. Find all theme words plus the "spangram" that spans the grid and reveals the theme. Connect letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally to form words. Find 3 non-theme words to unlock a hint.
This Strands Hint points toward objects that spend most of their time tucked away in a backyard structure. Think about the types of heavy equipment or seasonal items you only bring out for specific chores or hobby activities. Check out the full Strands Hint below for more details.
The difficulty level is moderate, as many of the words refer to large, familiar objects found around a home. If you focus on items used for lawn care or weekend projects, the grid will start to reveal itself much faster. Check out the full Strands Hint below for more details.
In today's NYT Strands, the spangram follows a horizontal path, stretching across the board to define the category. It describes the very place where all the other hidden items are kept. Check out the full Strands Hint below for more details.
