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.
The theme focuses on concepts of diversity and mixture, where things aren't necessarily organized by type. If you are struggling to connect the dots, focusing on words for 'muddles' will lead you to the right path. Check out the full Strands Hint below for more details.
