NYT introduces new daily puzzle Strands today

digitaltrends.com — February 27, 2025 at 02:01 PM UTC

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 "Living large," with the spangram being "BIGSTUFF." Today's answers include: SPENDER, PICTURE, LEAGUES, BREAK, FOOT, BIRD, and CHEESE.
