Hardest Strands Words

NYT does not publish a difficulty score for individual words, so these lists use plain facts from the 978 puzzles in this archive: how long a word is and how unusual its letters are. Long words need a long, winding path through the 6 by 8 board, and letters like Q, X, Z and J have few friendly neighbors.

Has Strands Ever Repeated an Answer?

Short answer: Spangrams and theme words repeat often, but a whole puzzle has never repeated. Across the 978 puzzles checked, no two had the same spangram and the same theme words. 18 spangrams came back on another day with a different set of theme words, and 1,074 of the 4,368 different theme words have appeared more than once.

A repeated spangram does not mean a repeated puzzle. For example, HOMOPHONES was a spangram on 3 different days, each time with different theme words. Puzzle #63 is left out of these counts because two sources disagree about its answers.

Strands Archive: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Strands answers archive?

It is a list of past NYT Strands puzzles with the spangram and every theme word for each day, plus the theme clue and our difficulty estimate for recent puzzles.

How far back does this archive go?

It covers puzzle #1 (March 4, 2024) through puzzle #979 (November 7, 2026), which is every Strands puzzle so far.

How do I find a specific Strands puzzle?

Type a spangram, a theme word, a theme or a puzzle number in the search box. You can also open a month and scroll to the date.

Where can I find yesterday's Strands answer?

Open yesterday's Strands hint and answer for hints from mild to strong, then the spangram and every theme word. Older days are listed in the archive above.

Where are today's Strands answers?

Today's Strands hints and answers are on the homepage. A puzzle moves into this archive the next day, so nothing is spoiled early.

How is the difficulty score decided?

It is our own editorial estimate on a scale of 1 to 5, based on the theme, the word lengths and how the words sit on the board. It is not official NYT data, and it is only available from puzzle #925 onward.

Why do some rows have a dash?

Theme clues and difficulty scores are being added to older puzzles. The spangram and theme words are listed for every puzzle.

How often is the archive updated?

Once a day. Each morning the previous day's puzzle is added at the top of the current month.

What is the hardest Strands word?

There is no official ranking. By length, the longest theme word so far is WHATCHAMACALLIT (15 letters, puzzle #630), and the longest spangram is HUNGRYCATERPILLAR (17 letters, puzzle #167).

Has Strands ever repeated an answer?

Not a whole puzzle. In the 978 puzzles we checked, no two had the same spangram and theme words. Individual spangrams and theme words do repeat: 18 spangrams have been used more than once, and WATER is the most repeated theme word (10 times).
