Strands是纽约时报推出的一款新颖的文字游戏，它在经典词汇搜索的基础上进行了创新。玩家需要在字母网格中寻找由首尾相连、可改变方向的单词，每个字母都必须被使用。游戏围绕一个特定主题展开，并包含一个贯穿整个网格的“Spangram”来概括主题。由于游戏提供模糊的提示且不直接给出单词列表，因此比Wordle等游戏更具挑战性，需要玩家花费更多时间来解谜。本文旨在为遇到困难的玩家提供解谜思路和必要的提示，帮助他们更顺畅地体验游戏。

💡 Strands游戏的核心玩法是将单词搜索与字母连接和方向改变相结合，每格字母都需要被利用，玩家需根据主题和“Spangram”线索寻找词汇。

🎯 游戏主题围绕特定词汇展开，并包含一个“Spangram”，这是一个横向或纵向贯穿整个字母网格的特殊单词或短语，它概括了当日的主题，是解谜的关键线索。

🤔 Strands的挑战性在于其模糊的提示和不提供单词列表的设计，这使得游戏过程更具思考性，需要玩家投入更多时间和精力去探索和发现，与Wordle等游戏相比，更侧重于深度解谜。

📜 针对特定日期（如7月30日）的Strands游戏，其主题与“美国特权”相关，涉及政治性词汇，而当日的Spangram是“Constitution”，这为玩家提供了明确的解谜方向和线索。

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.
