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.

Today’s Strands Breakdown
I found EXTREME first. Then EXTREMELY. Then EXTREMES. None of these were words on the grid! I knew it wasn’t dumb luck or coincidence, but I didn’t come up with the spangram — EXTREMELY ONLINE — until I’d found COMMENT and STORY and FEED. Then it was easy pickings. REEL, MEME, TREND. These are all too familiar terms for one such as me, alas.
