Today’s NYT Strands hints and answers
Looking for Monday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
I spent most of Monday thinking about The White Lotus and why I was so disappointed with the finale and the season as a whole. It’s almost a relief to set that all aside and just play a game. The game in question is, of course, Strands, where you’re tasked with uncovering words on a grid, all tied to a theme. Today’s theme is pretty fun, too. Let’s dive right in.
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. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day’s theme.
Spoilers ahead.

Today’s Strands Breakdown
Yesterday’s Strands was all about fantastical creatures. Today’s is all about science fiction, and sci-fi movies in particular. I’ve seen all of these except one—the hardest word on the board: MEGALOPOLIS. The rest are all great movies. ALIEN is a classic. ARRIVAL will make you think and feel in a big way. GRAVITY is super intense. Both versions of DUNE are worth watching. Then again, I do love sci-fi.
