Hi Strands fans, and happy anniversary! Today marks a full year since the New York Times published its first Strands puzzle. Well done if you've been playing from day one (I joined about 20 days in, if memory serves).
Anyway, today's theme - "It's our game-iversary" - was pretty obvious for someone who writes down the puzzle number every day, like me. So I immediately got the self-referential spangram of STRANDS spelt across the grid from left to right.
But then I was a little lost, because I expected it to be words associated with the game such as "theme" and "puzzle", but I couldn't find anything. Fortunately, I then spotted STRING across the bottom of the grid, and realized this was about synonyms for the game's title.
That helped me to find CURL and THREAD immediately above it to complete the bottom half. I then found FILAMENT spelt backwards along the right-hand side, followed by RIBBON directly opposite.
But after that, I couldn't see what the two remaining words in the middle might be, so I used a clue. This revealed WISP, which helpfully just left me the anagram of DNRLTEI to decode. It was, of course, TENDRIL.
Ready to start the second year tomorrow? See you then.
