Today’s NYT Strands hints are easy if you served your country.<\/p>\n

Strands<\/a>, the New York Times<\/em>‘ elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters \u2014 up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There’s always a theme linking every solution, along with the “spangram,” a special, word or phrase that sums up that day’s theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.<\/p>\n

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle<\/a> and Connections<\/a>.<\/p>\n
