A 6×8 word grid awaits in NYT Strands, where players must identify words connected by a central theme.
Yesterday’s puzzle challenged us to find seven hidden words connected to the theme “Mary, Mary, Quite …”
However, today’s NYT Strands theme is “String’s Attached,” meaning you must identify hidden words related to the theme.
String’s Attached Meaning In The NYT Strands
NYT Strands designers intentionally create themes in a non-straightforward way to confuse players.

Fill the word grid so that you mark each letter and avoid overlapping strands.
“Strings attached” is used to indicate that an opportunity comes with special conditions, but the phrase could also have other meanings.
It is best to start by looking for the spangram, as it gives us a better idea of the theme and helps us solve the puzzle.

Today’s spangram is “Yo yo Trick,” beginning at the fourth letter of the seventh row and ending at the third letter of the first row.
Deciphering the spangram gave me the idea that the theme is referring to a yo-yo with a string attached to it.
