How to play Strands - New NYT puzzle games
The game presents a 6-by-8 grid of letters. Take note of the theme provided for the puzzle. Scan the grid for words related to the given topic.
Words can be formed by connecting adjacent letters vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Look for a longer word that connects two opposite sides of the grid. This word, known as the "spangram," encapsulates the commonality among all the theme words.
Click or tap on letters to form words. Once you've identified a word, submit it by clicking or tapping on the letters in the correct sequence. If the word is correct and relevant to the theme, it will be accepted.
Continue finding theme words and the spangram until you've filled out the grid or reached the maximum number of words allowed.
Unlike traditional word searches, Strands Unlimited allows players to guess as many words as they like without penalty.
Discovering the spangram provides clues about the remaining words fitting the category.
