What is Strands?

Strands is The New York Times’ daily word puzzle, where you uncover themed words hidden inside a letter grid. Unlike Wordle, Strands challenges you to find multiple related words. There’s also a special “spangram,” a word or phrase that stretches across the grid and captures the puzzle’s theme.
