How to Play NYT Strands

NYT Strands is a word search-style word game with each puzzle having a theme. Letters can be used in any direction as long as they are not re-used or crossed (see image below for an example), and theme words will be highlighted in light blue.

One word, the Spangram, will describe the puzzle’s theme and will touch the left and right-most sides of the board and appear in yellow. When you have found all of the words, each letter will be used once within the letter grid.

If you’re stuck, you can find any four letter (or longer) word, and for every three of these, you can get a hint, which will reveal one of the theme words for you to highlight.

That’s everything you need to know to finish the NYT Strands #189 September 8, 2024 puzzle. If you want to find more content on the game, you can check out the NYT Strands section of our website.
