How NYT Strands works

NYT Strands (March 2024) hides theme words in a letter grid, plus a spangram that describes the theme.

  1. Select letters to form words.
  2. Theme words highlight; the spangram spans two sides of the grid.
  3. Use hints if you stall. Published by The New York Times Games.
