Today’s NYT ‘Strands’ Hints, Spangram and Answers for Saturday, July 19 originally appeared on Parade. Move over, Wordle, Connections and Mini Crossword—there's a new NYT word game in town! The New York Times's recent game, "Strands," is becoming more and more popular as another daily activity fans can find on the NYT website and app.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns.

Strands is a compelling new puzzle in The New York Times Games collection. It features a 6×8 letter grid where players are challenged to uncover a set of words connected by a common theme, along with a unique ‘spangram.
