Today's Strands words and spangram — hints first, answers when you want them.
Every answer hidden in today's New York Times Strands grid — including the spangram. Today's board loads automatically — just hit Show today's words and reveal answers one at a time with hint mode so you still enjoy the puzzle.
Hint mode keeps answers hidden — each word shows only its first two letters and dots for the rest. Give me a hint uncovers one full word at a time (the spangram first) and highlights its path on the board. Clicking a word also reveals that full answer and its path. Turn hint mode off to reveal every answer.
The New York Times Strands puzzle asks you to find hidden words inside a 6×8 grid of letters. Words can snake in any direction — up, down, left, right, and diagonally — and every puzzle contains one special theme word called the spangram. Our answer list uses the official daily theme words and spangram, rather than unrelated dictionary matches. Select an answer to highlight its path on today's board.
Today's 48 Strands letters load into the grid automatically — you can edit any tile if needed. Press Show today's words to see only the official theme words and spangram. With Hint mode on, each answer starts with two visible letters. If you edit or clear the board, reload today's puzzle before showing its official answers.
A spangram is the puzzle's hidden theme word that stretches from one side of the board to the other. We label the official spangram so you can spot it instantly, or filter the results to show only that answer.

Absolutely. Keep Hint mode enabled and each answer shows only its first two letters and dots for the rest. Give me a hint reveals one full answer and highlights its path, starting with the spangram.
