How Strands hints work
Strands forms words by connecting adjacent letters in the grid; a word’s path can bend and change direction. To earn an in-game hint, find three valid non-theme words of at least four letters. The hint then highlights the letters of a theme word.
For this puzzle, the listed non-theme words are NEST, CHORE, WINE, TWINE, MALL, and CELL. The available guides do not provide a reliable cell-by-cell route for each answer, so no letter coordinates are included here.
