Strands - More Daily Gaming

Gaming
#1

Because we don’t have enough of them… Here’s the new NYT Daily Game that launched this week. Still in Beta, Strands is a wordsearch game, with all the words linked to a theme.

Gif showing two ways to create words. A cursor creates words on a 4-by-4 board of letters to fill the board with color. First, the cursor draws a line to create the word BANANA, which turns blue. Then the cursor taps each letter of APPLE, which turn blue once the final E of APPLE is tapped a second time. Finally, the cursor drags across the letters of FRUIT, which turn yellow.
