🚨📜 Hey fam, buckle up because the NYT just dropped STRANDS – the word-search game that’s trying wayyy too hard to be fancy 💅🧐! Like, who needs a PhD in linguistics to find “cat” in a jumble of letters? 🐱💀 So here’s the tea ☕️: you gotta connect letters like you’re trying to explain your latest TikTok dance to your grandma 🤦‍♂️, and trust me, it's way harder than getting a decent Wi-Fi signal while gaming 🤖💔! They’re calling these words “quirky shapes” but really, it looks like a toddler went ham with a box of crayons 🎨🤡. And you know they’ve crammed some ridiculous “spangram” in there – whatever THAT is! 🥴 Like, do I need to call a linguist? Fr fr, I'm just trying to find “dog” without giving myself a migraine. 🐶🔍 Cue imaginary dev convo: Dev 1: “What if we made it user-friendly?” Dev 2: “Nah, let’s make it a brain buster. They’ll LOVE that!” 🤯 💀 You know what? The only STRANDS I want are the ones in my hair after a long day at work! 🚀🔥 So here’s my wild prediction: In 2025, we’ll all be playing word games with AI that just scolds us for not being smarter. No cap! 😱👾 Let’s get this chaos trending, fam! Share if you can relate! 😂 #WordGamesGoneWild
