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.

Here, Spangram refers to the eventual description of the theme and its words can be found on the two opposing sides of the grid. Once the spangram is known, the player needs to jot down a list of words associated with it, which can be potentially found on the grid.

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