Each year, March 14th arrives carrying two meanings at once — a number and a dessert, a ratio and a ritual. The New York Times marked the occasion with a Strands puzzle that asks solvers to trace the anatomy of a pie through a grid of shifting, bending letter paths. In a game where every letter must belong somewhere and nothing is accidental, the spangram 'Happy Pi Day' holds the structure together the way a good crust holds its filling — by design, not by chance.
