Jordan Valinsky reports:

Strands, like Connections, was recently hatched at a “Game Jam” (think: a hackathon, but for games) and filled the need for a word search-type of game in the app. It “bubbled up as a version of a word search that was true to the New York Times’ games,” Knight said. 

The Times’ research of its subscribers found that Wordle players also solve word search games, making Strands a natural addition to its lineup. Notably, Strands also shares the same editor of Wordle — Tracy Bennett — who, along with her team of editors and testers, craft the daily puzzles.
