Strands Looking for Friday’s Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: Time for this weekend’s first Strands, and while you may not need to do it first thing, I’m guessing you want to keep your streak alive. But first..
. How To Play Strands The New York Times’ Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It’s in beta for now, which means it’ll only stick around if enough people play it every day.
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. You’ll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common.
The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. 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.
Be warned: You’ll need to be on your toes. “Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,” The New York Times notes.

(BUILDING?) but I got that wrong, and I just didn’t think of a NIGHTCLUB in the same way as these others. The rest all certainly make sense, and these are most of the locations where you would indeed witness music.
