Our Mission

At NYT Strands, our mission is to make the magic of themed word puzzles available to everyone. We believe puzzles should be accessible, educational, and endlessly replayable. That’s why we’ve created a space where you can play daily puzzles, revisit previous challenges, and even explore themed archives — all in one seamless experience.

Respect for the Original

While inspired by The New York Times Strands, our site operates independently and is **not affiliated with or endorsed by The New York Times**. We admire their creative concept and simply aim to make similar gameplay more open and accessible for global players who want to practice beyond the daily puzzle.

Our Community

We’re proud to host a growing global community of puzzle fans. From casual solvers to word masters, our players connect through shared curiosity and a love for language. Together, we exchange strategies, share “aha!” moments, and celebrate clever finds.
