How To Play Strands
Strands is the newest game in the New York Times’ stable of puzzle games. It’s a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we’re given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board.

Today’s Strands Breakdown
Well, that was pretty easy. I found GOOD first and when it didn’t work, I knew it would be part of the spangram. So when I found LOYAL it was obvious: GOOD FRIENDS was right there. RELIABLE was isolated at the top so that was next, and then there were only three left. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
