Strands is a word game from the New York Times. It's a bit different from other word games. You can make words from letters that are up, down, left, right, or diagonal. The words can also change direction. Every letter in the grid is part of an answer. There's 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 because it doesn't give you a list of words to find.
