Strands has been my favorite NYT game since shortly after it became available. On most days enjoyable, and rarely has the level of nonsense categories as Connections does.

Learned a new word, and after looking up photos, I want one

I like strands. I start from corners. I keep the spangram for last for aesthetic purposes.

Thanks for sharing. I've never played this before, but I like the concept. I needed a lot of hints to finish it though.

We've been playing it at work, sometimes it's really easy and other times really hard. We try to do it "perfect": no hints and getting the spangram first. A couple times I even did it without finding any other words at all, but only once. Really depends on if you can figure out the theme in my experience... Sometimes they are very obtuse like Saturday nyt crossword clues

(Edit: I had to add extra newlines to make the formatting work for Lemmy/Sync; not sure if there's an easier way)
