About This Game

Strands is a themed word search game. Players must find all the theme words hidden in a grid of letters. Finding non-theme words can earn hints to help solve the main puzzle.

Our Review

"A refreshing take on the classic word search. The theme-based approach adds a layer of puzzle-solving that makes it more engaging than just mindlessly finding words. It's a great addition to the NYT daily lineup."

Tips & Tricks

Try to guess the overall theme early on, it will guide your search.
Don't ignore the 'Spangram', a special word that touches opposite sides of the board and describes the puzzle's theme.
Submitting three non-theme words of at least four letters each will earn you a valuable hint.
