How Strands Works

NYT Strands is a word-search built around a hidden theme. Every letter on the board belongs to one theme word. The spangram touches two opposite sides and names the theme. Find a non-theme word of four or more letters to earn a hint. A new board drops at midnight Eastern.

Answers come from the official New York Times puzzle data and refresh automatically at midnight Eastern. Last checked: Sep 13, 7:39 am ET.
