Why it matters
Gaming and puzzle content are popular forms of digital entertainment that drive engagement for news platforms.
In today's emoji-based puzzle, if you solve that, you already have the spangram.
The New York Times' Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It's in beta for now, which means it'll only stick around if enough people play it every day.
There's a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue.
