Sure! Here’s the revised content with the promotional call-to-actions rephrased or replaced:

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game. Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special word or phrase that sums up that day's theme and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

<p>By providing an opaque hint and not supplying a word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than other games, like Wordle and Connections. If you're feeling stuck or just don't have 10 or more minutes to figure out today's puzzle, we've got all the NYT Strands hints for today’s puzzle you need to progress at your own pace.</p>
