Highlights
- The New York Times has released a brand-new word puzzle for word game aficionados!
- If you need a hint or tips or want to see the solution to today’s Strands puzzle, you’ve come to the right place.
- In this guide, we have mentioned NYT Strands Hints and Answers. So, let’s get started.
Strands, a highbrow word-search game from The New York Times, has captured the hearts of puzzle mavens with its clever spin on a classic pastime.
While standard word search puzzles are limited to words being placed in straight lines (across, down, or diagonally), Strands expands the possibility to words in the direction of up, down, left, and right.
But it’s not just about finding the words, because these words flow directionally in peculiar ways; you also get a mind-bending puzzle experience.
Each Strands puzzle is linked by a theme: the words in the grid share a concept. Each grid also includes a spangram — a word or phrase that is formed by the central letters of the grid.
In this Strands puzzle, the theme is survival: words describing one’s resolve to survive whatever comes at them. In this post (and its companion spangram), we will explore today’s clues and provide the answers for those of you who would like to tackle the puzzle at your own pace.
