How the hints fit the puzzle
Strands is a themed word-search game. Try Hard Guides explains that letters can be connected in any direction without reusing or crossing them; finding words that are not part of the theme can earn in-game hints. The spangram describes the theme, touches opposite sides of the grid, and, when the puzzle is complete, every letter has been used once. These are gameplay details reported by Try Hard Guides’ Strands explainer, not a quoted official NYT rules statement.
