Every hint, nudge, and outright answer needed to complete today’s NYT Strands puzzle is here.
Today’s NYT Strands hints are easier if you have many hobbies. Strands, the New York Times’ elevated word-search game, requires players to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be formed from linked letters in any direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every letter in the grid is part of an answer, linked by a theme and a “spangram,” a special word or phrase summing up the day’s theme that spans the entire grid.
Providing an opaque hint without a word list, Strands offers a brain-teasing experience that takes longer to play than games like Wordle and Connections. If you’re stuck or lack 10 or more minutes to solve today’s puzzle, we offer all the necessary NYT Strands hints.
Today’s NYT Strands theme: “This is not working” relates to leisure. The spangram hint: it’s horizontal, and the answer is “Just for Fun.”
