Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns.

NYT Strands is a fun daily word game from The New York Times that makes you think outside the box. It’s not just a basic word search and each puzzle has a theme, and your job is to find words hidden in a letter grid that connect to that theme.
