It’s now available in the NYT Games app alongside the likes of Wordle and Connections (which we also cover in daily guides on Forbes Games ). There’s a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters.

The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you’ll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. MORE FOR YOU Google Chrome Deadline—You Have 72 Hours To Update Your Browser U.

The spangram links at least two sides of the board, but it may not start or end there. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow.

Every letter is used once in one of the theme words and spangram. You can connect letters vertically, horizontally and diagonally, and it’s possible to switch directions in the middle of a word. If you’re playing on a touchscreen, double tap the last letter to submit your guess.
