NYT Drops Clues and Answers for Feb 7

If you’re here, you’re probably in need of a little assistance with Strands, the New York Times’ fancy word-search game.

Unraveling Strands involves a unique twist on the traditional word search. Words can be formed by connecting letters in any direction, creating interesting shapes and patterns. Each letter in the grid is part of an answer, all tied together by a common theme and the “spangram” that sums up the day’s theme.

With cryptic hints and no word list provided, Strands challenges your brain a bit more than games like Wordle and Connections. But don’t worry, if you’re stuck or short on time, we’ve got all the hints you need to keep moving at your own pace.
