本文介绍了纽约时报推出的文字游戏Strands。与传统的单词搜索游戏不同，Strands要求玩家在字母网格中寻找相关单词，这些单词可以上下、左右、对角线连接，甚至可以改变方向。游戏设有主题和贯穿整个网格的“spangram”词或短语。由于没有明确的单词列表和模糊的提示，Strands比Wordle和Connections等游戏更具挑战性。文章提供了今天的Strands游戏主题提示、spangram信息以及相关单词列表，帮助玩家更好地理解和完成游戏。

💡 游戏玩法：Strands是一款基于字母网格的文字游戏，玩家需要在网格中找到由链接字母组成的单词，这些单词可以上下、左右、对角线连接，并能改变方向。

🧩 游戏特色：Strands的每个谜题都有一个主题，所有答案都与该主题相关。此外，还有一个“spangram”，一个贯穿整个网格的特殊词或短语，它总结了当天的游戏主题，增加了游戏的挑战性。

🤔 游戏提示：文章提供了今天的Strands游戏主题提示：“完全虚构”，并且这些词汇与材料相关。spangram的提示是垂直的，答案是“Textiles”（纺织品）。

📚 游戏资源：文章还提供了今天的Strands单词列表，包括Silk（丝绸）、Rayon（人造丝）、Linen（亚麻）、Cotton（棉）、Textiles（纺织品）、Spandex（氨纶）、Wool（羊毛）、Polyester（涤纶），以及其他每日在线游戏和过去的Strands解决方案的链接。

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 preferrined pace.
