How to identify this edition
This answer key is for game #412 on April 19, 2025—not a different Strands puzzle published on another April 19. TechRadar’s April 18 guide and the StrandsSolution archive match on the puzzle number and answers. TechRadar’s guide describes Strands as playable through NYT Games on desktop or mobile; that source alone does not establish current access or subscription requirements.
