How the Strands grid works
Forbes’ dated guide describes Strands as a word-search-style puzzle played on a six-by-eight letter grid. Trace adjacent letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, changing direction as needed to form a word. Theme words turn blue when found; the spangram turns yellow and connects opposite edges of the board. According to that guide, finding three valid non-theme words of at least four letters unlocks a hint. These mechanics are attributed to the guide rather than presented as a check of current game instructions.
