Tips and Tricks for Solving NYT Strands Puzzles
Solving a NYT Strands problem is not particularly difficult, but in some circumstances, the approach may not be as simple as it appears. So, here are some basic ideas and tactics to help you solve the theme words and Spangram for Strands puzzles.
- Always start at the corners: no two puzzles are alike. However, the chances of the Spangram expanding to a diagonal form are quite minimal. So the ideal technique is to discover and decrypt significant words in the grid’s corners.
- Do not be embarrassed to ask for hints: sometimes a theme word is all you need to complete the problem. If you need a clue using non-theme words, it is the first thing you should do. After all, the goal is to have fun and figure things out, just like the rest of us.
- Consider both literally and figuratively: Not all themes may elicit the same level of thought. Some problems may encourage more brilliant answers that convey something very different than their intended meaning.
- Aim for the Spangram: The Spangram is what divides the Strands board in half. So finding it out will help you rule out other possible approaches to a theme. Deciphering even half of the Spangram will bring you near to the remainder of the answers.
