How To Play Strands, The New York Times (NYT) Word Game

#strands #nytimes #wordle #wordgames
Strands is the brand new word game from the New York Times. In this video we take a look at how to play the game, which challenges you to find seven words with a common theme. It plays similar to a word search, and it's a lot of fun!

Now I have another game to play at midnight. If they keep adding more games, I will never get to bed.

I hear you! 😂😂😂

[@sambright3719]

​@@hopechazz Me too. 🥱🥱🥱

[@susanlevyadun7009]

😂 I'm there with you. The trick is to go to bed before midnight!

[@hopechazz]

@@susanlevyadun7009 I am guessing that we have night owls anyway. 😂

This was a very helpful tutorial, thank you Doug 😊

[@Chris-vw2tl]

Yay, another game I can fail at.

[@brandanbaker5604]

That was a good one Doug. Cool, thanks for the demo and tutorial!

[@natefg0]

I found that new searching word game by your video.

[@barblopez9513]

For my competitive nature, my goal is to get the theme without needing any hints!

ooh

[@conniekb6368]

Enjoyed the tutorial. Not sure I want to play. I’ll watch you do it again a couple of times and then decide.

[@n1ck1216]

Not really fun, you kind of have unlimited tries unlike wordle and connections

Today's theme for me was "She'll have a ball" since I live in Europe. I found everything all right.

For me too. I came across this today (Tuesday morning in Australia). It's game #2 I think. It looks like a new puzzle comes out at midnight local time. I'll give the next one a go after I play the next wordle.

[@PaulRoehl-fi1iw]

A good game, but I ain't playin it.

[@AppleTom9091]

I came in at game 2 (Tuesday morning in Australia) . I reset my phones date/time and it took me back to this game. It's not easy to trace the letters on the phone screen using a finger. The letters get hidden.

Great tutoriol Doug!

A slash is British slang for a pish, a wazz or a run off.

[@kaustavmitra3600]

This seems like a fun game especially with the hint!

[@katherineswanger9496]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[@tommyhetrick]

getting it with zero hints is impossible for me end up wracking in like 20+ words trying to figure it out and then finally have to use a hint

[@JenetMack]

I enjoy this game and observing you decipher the strategy ☺️

[@anitaapolloni7191]
