NYT Strands Today: The New York Times Strands puzzle for April 10, 2025, is abuzz with excitement—literally. If you’re trying to crack today’s game, the theme is "What’s the buzz?", and it’s centered around one of nature’s busiest creatures: the bumblebee. Below, we walk you through the hints, the Spangram, and all the themed answers to help you navigate the puzzle. 

Strands is a daily word-search style puzzle from the NYT that revolves around a theme. Players must find hidden words in a grid based on a given clue. The ultimate challenge lies in uncovering the Spangram — a special word or phrase that not only relates to the theme but also stretches from one side of the grid to the other.

This fun and clever title offers a big clue. If you think about buzzing, pollination, and those fuzzy flying insects often found in gardens, you're on the right track. The theme points directly to the anatomy and features of a bumblebee.
