@AngryGumball posted this in the pop culture thread already, but thought since it’s yoyo day and this puzzle will be gone tonight, I’d give it a topic. Do it for yoyo day:

> **[Play Strands, our newest word-search game with a twist.](https://www.nytimes.com/games/strands)**
>
> Find hidden words and uncover the day’s theme.

I wish I could have discovered it naturally, but I am glad you guys posted because I was (am) stuck on the crossword and never would have gotten around to it.

Now I have to do all the tricks for my husband, because he didn’t know all of them.

I hope someone who did it got a screenshot of the finished puzzle. Kudos to those who can do all the tricks. Basically seasick is the one that’s hard as far as I know (haven’t tried to learn that one yet).

Usually I don’t do the Strands because it’s basically just a word search, but after the second of my Wordle results sharing buddies asked if I’d done the Strands, I figured I had to (and that also gave me a clue as to what it was about). I try to do the Wordle, Connections and Mini every day.

I need to check out the spelling be just because I can’t imagine a spelling quiz online.

Not a quiz, just making words from a small amount of letters…
