How To Play Strands

Strands is the newest game in the New York Times’ stable of puzzle games. It’s a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we’re given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day’s theme.

Today’s Strands Breakdown

Lots of words packed into today’s Strands. I found the spangram first, actually, just tracing the corners and following UPPER over to LIMIT. Clever to put that at the very top of the grid. From here, APEX and SUMMIT were easy enough, though ACME gave me a hard time since I mostly just associate that with cartoons!
