NYT Drops Clues and Solutions for November 29!

If you’re here, you’re probably looking for some help with playing Strands, the New York Times’ elevated word-search game. Strands puts a spin on the classic word search by allowing words to be formed from linked letters in various directions, creating unique shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid is part of an answer, and there’s always a theme tying everything together, along with a “spangram” that sums up the theme and spans the entire grid.

Unlike other games like Wordle and Connections, Strands provides only a hint without a word list, making it a more challenging and time-consuming brain teaser. But if you’re stuck or short on time, fear not – we have all the hints you need to crack today’s Strands puzzle at your own pace.
