Strands is a daily word-search-style game played on a letter grid. Find words connected to the theme and a spangram that expresses it more directly. Words can run horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and the solved board uses every letter once.
According to the dated guides, valid non-theme words of four or more letters contribute toward an in-game hint. Finding three such words makes a hint available; it highlights the letters of a theme word. If a hint is already active, another hint can reveal the letters’ order.
