**New York, NY -** The New York Times’ word puzzle app, Strands, is proving to be a hit with players, and today’s puzzle, themed “Generation Jam,” was no exception. Players had to decipher hidden words related to the theme of ’90s music bands.

The puzzle’s objective was to find all the theme words, including a “spangram” that spanned the entire board. The spangram, in this case, was **NINETIES BANDS**, found starting with the N three letters to the right on the top row and winding down.

The game provides clues and hints along the way. By finding three words of four letters or more, players are rewarded with a revealed theme word. The article details specific words that can be used for this purpose, but any four-letter or longer word found will work.

With the spangram and all the theme words discovered, every letter on the board is used, marking the puzzle as solved.

Strands, while not as widely known as its NYT siblings Wordle and Connections, is proving to be a challenging and entertaining puzzle experience. With its recent move out of beta, it’s now accessible in the NYT’s official Games app, potentially bringing it to a wider audience.
