Strands是纽约时报推出的一款新颖的文字搜索游戏，它在传统文字搜索的基础上增加了难度。玩家需要从连接的字母中找出单词，这些单词可以上下左右或斜向连接，并且可以改变方向形成独特的形状。每个字母都必须是答案的一部分，所有答案都围绕一个主题，并有一个横向或纵向贯穿整个网格的“spangram”词语来概括主题。与Wordle和Connections不同，Strands通过提供模糊的提示和不提供单词列表，增加了游戏的挑战性。本文提供了1月22日Strands的提示，帮助玩家更快地找到答案。

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.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its 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 preferred pace.
