Left, right, diagonal, up, down — we’re basically doing parkour but for words. 🤸‍♂️💥 Word hunt enthusiasts: prepare for your brain to enter galaxy mode! 🚀💫 You can even create some funky shapes like the pretzel your brain turns into at 2 AM when you try to remember where you left your keys. 🔑💀 And here’s a hot developer quote I totally didn’t make up: "I designed this so players could make words while also contemplating their life choices. Bonus points if you start seething over your ex while looking for spangrams!" 💔💭 👀 Pro tip: if you can’t find the words, just throw your phone out the window and shout “I’m not playing this cringe anymore!” 🙈🥴 🔥 Prediction Alert: In 2025, NYT will introduce “Strands VR” — who needs a social life when you can lose yourself in a digital word-matrix?
