Strands is a word game from the New York Times. It is different from other word games. You can make words from letters that are connected. These letters can be up, down, left, right, or diagonal. The words can also change direction, making them look strange. Every letter in the game is part of a word. There is a theme that connects all the answers, and a special word or phrase called the 'spangram' that sums up the theme.

Strands is a game that makes you think. It does not give you a list of words, so it takes longer to play than other games like Wordle.

If you are stuck or do not have time to play, we have hints to help you.

These words mean when you forget what you were saying.
