NYT Strands today: clues, spangram, and solutions for Wednesday, April 16.

      Strands is a fresh daily puzzle from the New York Times. It offers a more challenging spin on the traditional word search, requiring a sharp eye to solve.

      Similar to Wordle, Connections, and the Mini Crossword, Strands can sometimes be tough to crack. There’s no harm in seeking some assistance now and then. If you’re stuck and need today’s Strands puzzle answers, take a look at the solved puzzle provided below.

      How to play Strands

      Each Strands puzzle begins with the objective of locating the “theme words” concealed within the letter grid. You manipulate the letters by dragging or tapping to form words; double-tap the last letter to confirm. When you correctly identify a word, its letters will be highlighted in blue and will be disabled for further selection.

      If you find a word that isn’t a theme word, it still counts! For every three non-theme words you discover that are at least four letters long, you’ll receive a hint — revealing the letters of one theme word that you’ll need to unscramble.

      Every letter in the grid is utilized to create the theme words, with no overlaps; each letter appears just once.

      Every puzzle features one “spangram,” which is a special theme word (or words) that embodies the puzzle’s theme and stretches across two opposite sides of the board. When you identify the spangram, it will be marked in yellow.

      The aim is to finish the puzzle swiftly without relying on too many hints.
