How the daily theme works
Every letter on the board belongs to one word. Trace words through touching letters, diagonals included. Theme words turn blue; the spangram names the theme, runs from one side of the board to the other and turns yellow. More puzzles: unlimited themes, today's grid hints and groups hints.
Frequently asked questions
How do the hints work?
They go from gentle to obvious: what the clue means, how many words there are, the spangram, and then each theme word with its length and first letter. Open only what you need.
Are these hints for the NYT Strands puzzle?
No. They are for our own daily theme board, which you can play on this site. We never publish another game's answers.
When do the hints change?
At midnight Eastern Time, when the new daily board comes out. Past boards stay in the archive with their answers.
