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 theme focuses on the symbols and accolades one receives after achieving a major triumph. If you are stuck on the connection, think about the different ways we recognize champions in various competitions. Check out the full Strands Hint below for more details.
The difficulty is moderate as the words are common nouns, but their placement on the board can be tricky to spot. Focusing on the corners of the grid might help you uncover the first few celebratory items. Check out the full Strands Hint below for more details.
