NYT Strands answers for Thursday, January 30
This is Strands puzzle #333, published on Thursday, January 30, 2025. The year matters: January 30, 2026, fell on a Friday. Parade’s date-specific guide and Forbes’ guide report the same solution.
- Theme: “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”
- Spangram: FROSTPOEM
- Theme words: FROZEN, DARK, DEEP, BELLS, SHAKE, SLEEP, LOVELY, LAKE
Why these words fit the theme
The theme names the Robert Frost poem, and the answer words come from its language. FROSTPOEM joins the poet’s surname with the type of work, pointing to the connection that ties the board together. Forbes reproduces the poem text alongside the answer list; Parade independently confirms the theme and all nine entries.
How Strands clues work
Strands asks players to find theme words that fill the board. Found theme words turn blue, and the spangram describes the theme while touching two opposite sides of the grid. Finding three non-theme words earns a hint. These mechanics are summarized in Parade’s guide, which attributes the instructions to The New York Times.
