Hints and Solutions for NYT Strands – May 15

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.
