How Strands hints work
According to the consulted answer guides, letters can be connected in any direction, without reusing letters or crossing a previously traced path. The spangram describes the theme and stretches between opposite sides of the board. Finding three non-theme words of at least four letters earns a hint that reveals a theme word. The guides describe the standard board as containing 48 letters, all used once the puzzle is complete.
