What is NYT Strands?
NYT Strands is a word-search style game where you must find words hidden in a grid of letters. One of the words is the 'spangram' which intersects all the other words and gives a broad hint to the day's theme. Finding the spangram unlocks the theme and makes it easier to spot the remaining words. — Jesiree Dizon: Everything You Need To Know

- Look for Common Prefixes and Suffixes: Words often share common beginnings or endings. Identifying these can help you narrow down the possibilities.
- Consider the Category: Keep the revealed category in mind. What words would logically fit within that theme?
