Today’s NYT Strands tips are easy if you like numbers.
Strands, the New York Times‘, an elevated word search game, requires the player to perform a variation of the classic word search. Words can be made up of linked letters – up, down, left, right or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in original shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There is always a theme connecting each solution, as well as the “spangram”, a special word or phrase that summarizes the theme of the day and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
