Strands is the New York Times' latest attempt to create a new Wordle. Yes, it's a simple online word game that you can only play once a day. Yes, you play the same game as everyone else. And yes, you can share your spoiler-free scores with each other afterwards.
It's best thought of as a twist on the classic word search puzzle, but more fun than that might sound. If you've not yet tried it, I recommend doing so; I've also got a daily NYT Strands hints and answers page, for if you get stuck when playing.
