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. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day’s theme.

Today’s Strands Breakdown
We’re well past spring so there’s nothing thematic here but it does make me think of my own crabapple trees which blossom bright and pink, like great rosy clouds, filling the air with their vibrance and scent. Lovely. I wouldn’t mind having a CHERRY tree or a HAWTHORN, too. Any of these FLOWERING TREEs, really.
