Play Strands, our newest word-search game with a twist.
www.nytimes.com
The objective? Use every letter on the board to find today’s linked words plus their hidden theme. A new puzzle is added daily.

I started playing this about a week ago and have been having a great time.

It’s kind of like a word search that can go in any direction after every letter, but can’t overlap, and you don’t know the words. There’s also a special word (sometimes 2 words together) called “spangram” each day that will go from one side of the board to the other and spell out the theme of the other words.

    Thanks for sharing. I’ve never played this before, but I like the concept. I needed a lot of hints to finish it though.

      Hints are fine! It takes a couple days to train your brain to see the words jumbled in that way.
