NYT Strands hints, answers for August 23, 2026
The NYT Strands hints and answers you need to make the most of your puzzling experience.
On August 23, 2026, the New York Times released their word-search game, Strands. This game presents a unique twist on the classic word search, where players must unscramble letters to form words in an irregular pattern. The game always has a theme linking every solution, as well as a spangram, a word or phrase that summarizes the day's theme and spans the entire grid either horizontally or vertically.
Today's Strands theme is an epic journey, with words being adjectives related to ancient Greece. The spangram for this particular day is horizontal. Players can refer to the spangram hint to determine whether it runs vertically or horizontally. The answer to today's Strands spangram is The Odyssey.
The words contained in today's Strands word list include Sirens, Cyclops, Ship, King, The Odyssey, and Suitors, all of which are related to ancient Greece and the epic journey of The Odyssey.
