NYT Launches 'Strands,' a New Word Puzzle Game

The game introduces a unique 'spangram' feature and offers daily challenges with varying themes.

The New York Times introduces 'Strands,' a new daily puzzle game, adding to its collection of word puzzles.
'Strands' challenges players to find theme words in a letter grid, with a special 'spangram' word linking two opposite sides of the board.
Hints for solving the puzzles are provided, including the revelation of letters for one of the theme words after finding three non-theme words.
The puzzle's difficulty and themes vary daily, with recent themes including colors and consumerism-related terms.
The game is currently in beta and will continue based on player engagement.
