Strands is an engaging game from New York Times that resembles a classic word search. Players are given a grid of sixteen letters where they must find words that share a common theme. A new game is offered every day.

In the game, you need to find a group of words that have a shared theme. When you find a themed word, it is highlighted in blue, while a special word called a spangram is highlighted in yellow. The spangram connects at least two sides of the grid.
