How To Play Strands The New York Times’ Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s in beta for now, which means it’ll only stick around if enough people play it every day. There’s a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you’ll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You’ll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow.

Many of the came easy, but some were weird like I found “COBRA” in BRONCO where that is a variant of a MUSTANG, which is another puzzle word. I guess I didn’t think about an IMPALA being an animal but I mean, of course it is. There was also RAM in here, but there aren’t enough letters.
