NYT Provides April 9, 2026 Strands Hints and Answers

Filmogaz.com is publishing the NYT Provides April 9, 2026 Strands Hints and Answers for players. The puzzle’s theme connects to painting and related art materials.

Strands twists the classic word-search format. Players link adjacent letters in any direction, and answers can change course midword.

Every grid letter will appear in a solution. The game gives a single, opaque hint and hides the full word list.

Theme and spangram

The day’s hint reads “In the paint.” The solutions all relate to art and painting techniques.

The spangram runs horizontally across the grid. The spangram answer is Medium.

Word list for April 9, 2026

These are the solutions for the April 9 puzzle. Use them only if you need help progressing.

  • Fresco
  • Enamel
  • Pastel
  • Medium
  • Watercolor
  • Acrylic
  • Tempera

Solving tips

Scan the grid for long runs that could spell “Medium” horizontally. That will reveal a major portion of the layout.

Look for overlapping letter chains and corners where words change direction. Remember diagonals count and every letter is used.

Strands often requires more time than Wordle and Connections. If you need faster progress, consult these hints on Filmogaz.com.
