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
This was a tricky Strands because these are mostly longer words and somewhat difficult words to spell. COURAGEOUS is a lot of vowels in a lot of odd spots. INTREPID is not a word you hear every day. Thankfully, both BOLD and GUTSY were pretty easy to spot, and left DEVILS right there inbetween the two.
