New York Times launches Strands puzzle with sun shade theme for February 17
The New York Times has introduced a new daily puzzle called Strands, which is a more challenging version of a word search. Players must find hidden "theme words" in a grid by manipulating letters. In Strands, players can earn hints by finding non-theme words. Each puzzle includes a "spangram," a special word that connects two sides of the board. Today's theme is "Sun shade," with a hint of "bright colored." The spangram for today's puzzle is: YELLOW, SAFFRON, DAFFODIL, CANARY, MUSTARD, LEMON, GOLDENROD.
