Puzzle Creation
This section is a work in progress. As they say, I'm just a girl.
Easter Eggs and Fun Stuff
Here's a board I made for my friend Aaron Gruen, who is running
superstar and coached me when I was training for my first marathon.
And the process behind me slipping his name into the puzzle while
avoiding the possibility of theme words being able to be constructed
multiple ways.
Here's a video where I talk about Strands tips and tricks, edited by
the NYT Social team.
Sandra Honigman (Project Manager), Devin Lizardi (Software Engineer), and
I gave a talk on the inception and development of Strands at the Game Devs
of Color Expo in 2024.
Thank you!
I believe Strands has achieved what we hoped it would, bringing players
an elevated word search experience. I found myself watching people play
Strands online throughout the beta, and it brought me a lot of joy to
witness the excitement, celebration, and frustration, around this game.
If you're a Strands player reading this now, thank you for playing.
