How Strands hints work
Try Hard Guides describes Strands as a themed word-search: trace letters in any direction without reusing or crossing them. Theme words are highlighted, and finding three non-theme words of at least four letters unlocks a hint that reveals a theme word. The spangram expresses the theme and touches opposite sides of the grid. These mechanics are reported by that secondary guide. Try Hard Guides
