The StrandsNewly Introduced Puzzle Game
The New York Times has introduced the best new puzzle game in its longstanding lineup: Strands! It’s a fresh twist on the classic word search game, designed to be both challenging and fun. Every day, a new theme is revealed, and the goal is to uncover all the words on the grid that fit that theme. Today, the theme is Oh, this old thing?
The game has a unique feature known as a spangram, which spans across two sides of the grid. This spangram was a key part of today’s daily puzzle, giving players significant insight into what the theme could be and why it’s intriguing. Spotting the spangram was initially overwhelming, but breaking it down made the solve much more manageable.

Here’s what you need to know to crack today’s puzzle:
- Hint #1: This phrase refers to something that people gather, keep, or display for enjoyment—often to display for fun or to preserve it.
- Hint #2: Think about baseball cards!
By carefully examining the first two letters of each word, as well as the spangram, you can start piecing together the answer. Today’s spangram is COLLECTIBLES, which crosses the grid from one end to the other.
