NYT Strands #249 hints
The clue “Extremely online” points to the actions and features associated with social media. If you want to solve the board before seeing the full list, start by looking for familiar platform actions: writing a reply, following an account, liking or sharing something, and reporting content.
For a nudge rather than a direct answer, Strands awards a hint after you find three valid words of at least four letters that are not theme answers. The hint highlights one theme word. Forbes’ general explanation of Strands mechanics describes this hint condition; that article is about the following day’s puzzle, not #249.

How Strands works
Strands is a word-search-style puzzle. Connect adjacent letters vertically, horizontally, or diagonally to form words; letters cannot be reused or crossed within an answer. Theme words highlight blue, while the spangram identifies the theme and spans opposite sides of the board. The answer guide also describes the three-word hint rule: find three non-theme words of four or more letters to reveal a hint on a theme answer. The November 7 answer guide provides the puzzle’s answer list and mechanics.
