How Strands works
In descriptions published with these 2024 answer guides, Strands uses a six-by-eight letter grid. Players connect adjacent letters to form theme words. The spangram describes the theme and runs between opposite sides of the board. The guides also describe earning a hint by finding three valid non-theme words of at least four letters; a hint then highlights a theme word. These are descriptions from 2024 guides, not a guarantee about the current game interface.
