Each day, the New York Times invites its readers into a quiet contest of spatial patience — a word puzzle called Strands, where the theme of January 6 turns the mind skyward toward things that fly. Unlike its faster siblings Wordle and Connections, Strands demands that every letter in the grid find its purpose, leaving no piece of the world unused. The spangram 'Defying Gravity' stretches across the whole of today's grid, a phrase that names not just the theme but perhaps the small triumph of solving it.
