NYT Strands: A Word Search With a Twist!

The New York Times' Strands puzzle is a fresh take on the classic word search. It’s still in beta, so make sure you play every day, so that they might actually make this an officially launched game for everyone!

Here’s the deal: A six-by-eight grid of letters. Your job is to find words with something in common – with hints to get you going. The theme words (in blue) won’t be proper nouns. There's also a special word, the spangram (in yellow) – this one links two opposite sides and connects everything together and sometimes can actually be a proper noun!

strands adds more intrigue with these interesting plot twists: "Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,” notes The New York Times, adding this unexpected detail about just how incredibly varied this could become.

The spangram is: OFFICESUPPLIES

The theme words are:

RULER
SCISSORS
STAPLER
PRINTER
PENCILS

(And yes, they all relate to paper. The OFFICESUPPLIES spangram makes for a really clever reveal; it literally loops around like a paperclip!).

Conclusion: Did You Solve It?

How did you do? Let us know. This one is tougher than it appears at first glance; you will likely think it's related to drawing first, thus the word PRINTER becomes entirely absent! This shows that many solutions can present themselves only after careful reconsideration of each possibility, showing that even relatively straightforward puzzle-solving tasks might not always appear straightforward at first! Yet, that very complexity, the necessity for having to reconsider these items carefully, helps showcase just how difficult and creative some of these words are; only solvable when considering every given item. It shows some serious creative prowess on the puzzle creators’ part. Those unexpected curveballs make each session totally fresh and challenging! Make sure you’re ready; and have a great day!
