The New York Times introduces Strands, a daily word puzzle that blends classic word search elements with a unique twist. Players must decipher a grid of letters to uncover themed words and a special 'spangram' that reveals the overarching connection.
The New York Times has launched a new word puzzle called Strands , which takes inspiration from the classic word search . This beta game features a daily challenge where players must decipher a six-by-eight grid of letters to find a group of words connected by a common theme. Players receive a clue to guide them, and when a theme word is discovered, it's highlighted in blue.
The ultimate goal is to locate a special word called a 'spangram', which links two opposite sides of the grid and reveals the overarching theme. While theme words are not proper nouns, the spangram can be. It's highlighted in yellow when found. Strands offers diverse themes, ranging from fill-in-the-blank phrases and process steps to categorized items, synonyms, and homophones. The New York Times emphasizes that the game's difficulty will fluctuate, with occasional curveballs thrown in to keep players on their toes.
