NYT Strands’ December 23 edition is quite interesting. This unconventional game provides players with a six-by-eight grid every day for word-seeking. Firstly, players are required to crack the theme, followed by a spangram, for locating words easier.

So without any further ado, here are hints and answers for today’s NYT Strands.
