NYT Strands hints, answers for November 13, 2026

The New York Times' word-search game Strands presented a hint for its November 13, 2026 puzzle. This particular Strands challenge centered around the theme of superstitions, with the words alluding to unfortunate events. Players must find linked words in various directions, including vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, as well as navigate the quirky shaped patterns created by the words.

A spangram, a word that spans the entire grid, was also part of the puzzle. It was revealed that the spangram for today's Strands game was horizontal, rather than vertical. The spangram answer for today's word-search game was Rotten Luck, a phrase that is directly attributed to the NYT Strands game.
