Why the year matters
The date is March 21, 2025: that date fell on a Friday, and the puzzle is identified as game #383. March 21, 2026 fell on a Saturday and had a different puzzle, so the year distinguishes this answer guide from a later archive entry.
How Strands works
Strands is a daily NYT Games word puzzle played on a 6×8 grid of 48 letters. Find the theme words and the spangram, a word or short phrase that describes the theme and crosses between opposite edges of the grid. Play through the NYT Games Strands page.
