The New York Times’ puzzle game, Strands, offers daily challenges with unique themes. Players must uncover all the hidden words within a grid, including a Spangram that spans the board, revealing the central theme. The game joins other popular NYT puzzles like the Mini Crossword, Spelling Bee, and Wordle. Today’s theme is ‘That’s classic.’ Hints are provided, along with the answers and the Spangram for the September 12, 2025, puzzle. The Spangram hint is: Respected or valued because it has been used or followed for a long time. The answers are: VINTAGE, ANTIQUE, AGELESS, ENDURING, and HISTORIC. The Spangram for today is TIME HONORED. Strands combines elements of Connections, Spelling Bee, and crosswords, challenging players to find words within a grid of letters. The goal is to solve the Spangram and identify all theme-related words. Tips include uncovering theme words, discovering the Spangram (the central theme word), and using hints to guide the player.
