How To Play Strands
Strands is the newest game in the New York Times’ stable of puzzle games. It’s a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we’re given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board.

Today’s Strands Breakdown
This was probably a little trickier for me simply because I’m not a sports guy, not a Knicks fan (I don’t dislike the Knicks by any means, they’re just not my team because I don’t have a team).
