How Strands works

Strands is a themed word-search puzzle. Connect adjacent letters to form words; moves can go diagonally and can turn. Theme answers fit the day’s subject, while the spangram identifies or captures the theme and runs between two opposite sides of the board. Finding three valid non-theme words earns an in-game hint that highlights a theme word. For general rules, see the Dagstuhl Publishing research paper and the Strands.Game rules page, which says it is not affiliated with the New York Times.
