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 puzzle focuses on the natural abundance found in outdoor stalls during the sunniest time of year. Think about the types of plant-based ingredients you'd buy to make a refreshing seasonal dish; if you need a nudge, check out the full Strands Hint below for more details.

The spangram today stretches across the grid, connecting the left and right sides to represent the breadth of a seasonal yield. To see exactly how it fits between the other words, check out the full Strands Hint below for more details.
