Today’s NYT Strands tips are easy if you have the right deck.
Wiresthe New York Times‘ elevated word search game, requires the player to do a variation on the classic word search. Words can be formed from interlocking letters – up, down, left, right or diagonally, but words can also change direction, resulting in peculiar shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There is always a theme linking each solution, along with the “spangram,” a special word or phrase that sums up that day’s theme and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a challenging game that takes a little longer to play than other games such as Wordle and Connections.
