How To Play Strands
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.

Today’s Strands Breakdown
I found today’s Strands quite difficult, partly because I’m not one to actually wear FANCY PANTS (today’s spangram) and while I am familiar with some of these, such as SAILOR and TUXEDO, others are beyond my limited understanding. GAUCHO? TOREADOR? These are not pants I slip into. Nor are HAREM pants, for that matter.
