The New York Times Strands puzzle for Saturday, April 19, 2026, is now available. The daily puzzle is a word search game where players must find a series of words related to a theme, as well as a special 'spangram' that spans the entire board.
According to the official NYT Games page, the theme hint for today's puzzle is 'In the kitchen'. The spangram for puzzle #777 is 'APPLIANCES'. The theme words are common kitchen appliances, such as BLENDER, DISHWASHER, MICROWAVE, and TOASTER.
Strands is one of several daily puzzles offered by The New York Times, alongside Wordle, Connections, and the Mini Crossword. The game was launched in beta in March 2024 and has since become a regular feature. Players can access the puzzle through the NYT Games website or mobile app.
For those seeking assistance, the NYT provides a 'Hint' button that reveals a letter, and a 'Show Theme' button that displays the spangram. The official answer key for April 19, 2026, confirms the theme and all associated words.
