Today’s NYT Strands hints are especially helpful for history enthusiasts. The New York Times’ word-search game puts a twist on the classic format: Players connect letters up, down, left, right, or diagonally, changing direction to form unusual shapes and patterns. Every letter in the grid belongs to an answer.

Each puzzle has a common theme and a “spangram”—a word or phrase that captures the theme and stretches across the entire grid horizontally or vertically. Because Strands provides only an indirect hint rather than a word list, solving it can take longer than games such as Wordle and Connections.
