How To Play Strands
Strands is the newest game in the New York Times’ stable of puzzle games. It’s a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we’re given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day’s theme.

Today’s Strands Breakdown
I found MUSEUM and BEACH almost instantly today and that made TOURISM very obvious, though I admit I thought it would be the first word in a longer spangram. Eventually I just went with TOURISM and that was that. The bottom half of the grid was trickier, but I eventually made my way to the CASTLE and then down to the MARKET where there was a lovely MONUMENT to some general or king or hero. We had a nice pasta at the local RESTAURANT. All in all, a lovely little day at the BEACH.
