The New York Times' popular word search game, Strands, has been officially incorporated into the NYT's Games app on both iOS and Android platforms. This addition allows users to conveniently access and play all of the NYT's puzzles, including Wordle and Connections, in one app. Strands, known for its themed puzzles and challenging spanagram word, has quickly become a favorite among players since its beta release in March. The game's high completion rate and popularity have propelled it to become the NYT's third most searched game, after Wordle and Connections. With 83% of players successfully finding the spanagram each day, Strands is proving to be a hit among puzzle enthusiasts. The game's upcoming inclusion in the main NYT app later this year is expected to further increase its accessibility and popularity among players.
