Another day, another Strands grid to solve. There have been some pretty good ones lately, including both yesterday’s and today’s. I prefer a bit of a challenge when it comes to my NYTs puzzle games! A bit of clever puzzle-creation artistry.
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. Let’s solve today’s, shall we?

Today’s Strands Breakdown
The clue—or theme, I guess—was very unhelpful today, which is a bit odd for Strands. Even after guessing a couple of words like MOLD and BRUSH, I was a little confused. PAINT cleared that up and I pretty quickly found ARTCLASS after that. From here it was a quick dash to the finish line. But this was definitely a trickier one at first. Also, I kept spelling PALETTE wrong! Annoying!
