Each morning, the New York Times Strands puzzle offers a small ritual of pattern recognition and wordplay — a quiet invitation to slow down and look more carefully at familiar things. Today's theme, 'Crack and snack,' gathers six varieties of nuts across a board of scattered letters, anchored by the spangram GO NUTS. It is a gentle exercise in noticing what is hidden in plain sight, a metaphor the puzzle's designers may or may not have intended.
