If you are here, chances are you need a little help solving today¡¯s Strands puzzle. Maybe you are stuck on the spangram or just curious to know if your guesses were right. Either way, this is where you will find everything you need about the June 17 puzzle from the New York Times.
Strands is the newest game from NYT and it is already winning hearts. It is a word search but with a twist. Each puzzle has a theme, a list of hidden words that match the theme, and one special word or phrase called the spangram. The spangram stretches across the board and gives away the main idea.
The theme clue is Make it work. That means all the words are about solving or fixing something. Think of clever ways people try to figure things out or handle tricky situations. The game is all about finding those kinds of words in the letter grid.
The pangra for today¡¯s puzzle is horizontal. It is Figure Out. That fits the clue perfectly since it is all about solving problems or making something work.
Here are all the theme words that match today's puzzle
Each of these words relates to the idea of working through something or coming up with a solution. Some sound technical while others feel more creative or sneaky but they all point to the same theme.
