How Strands hints work
An independent Strands explainer describes the puzzle as a 6×8 letter grid. Players connect letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, changing direction as needed to form words. The spangram identifies the theme and touches opposite sides of the grid. Finding three valid words that are not theme answers unlocks a hint that highlights one theme word.
