Today’s NYT Strands hints are simple if you’re a troublemaker. Strands, the New York Times’ advanced word-search game, involves a twist on the classic word search. You can form words by linking letters in any direction and change directions, creating unique shapes. Each letter is part of a solution, with a theme linking answers and a “spangram” summing up the theme, spanning the grid horizontally or vertically.
By offering opaque hints without a word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing challenge that’s more time-consuming than games like Wordle and Connections. If you’re stuck or short on time, here are today’s NYT Strands hints.
