Each letter in the grid is part of an answer, and every solution is linked by the theme of positive character traits. Players must make words from linked letters in various directions, including changes in direction.
The person representing the theme of the NYT Strands puzzle on September 30, 2025, remains unidentified. However, the puzzle's focus on positive character traits and the spangram 'Values' encourages players to reflect on and appreciate these qualities.
