**New York, NY** – The New York Times’ daily word puzzle, Strands, proved exceptionally challenging for players this past Saturday. One solver described the puzzle as “very, very hard,” prompting them to share the answers and spangram online.

Strands, currently in beta testing, presents players with a letter grid and a cryptic clue. The objective is to identify thematically linked words, culminating in the discovery of a “spangram” – a word stretching across the board and incorporating all the letters used in the theme words. The spangram for Saturday’s puzzle was revealed to be [SPANGAM HERE], a proper noun which proved difficult for many players.

The solver noted significant difficulty in identifying the connecting theme, requiring multiple hints. Even after finding the spangram, completing the puzzle remained a struggle, particularly in finding the word “DIPPER” and the less-familiar “RASCALS,” suggesting the puzzle’s theme might appeal more to an older demographic.
