NYT Strands Hints for July 16, 2026

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy.

Strands is a word game from the New York Times. It is like a word search, but with a twist. You can make words from letters that are up, down, left, right, or diagonal. The words can also change direction. Every letter is part of an answer. There is a theme that links all the answers, and a special word or phrase called the 'spangram' that sums up the theme.

Strands is a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play.
