How Strands hints work
The spangram is the theme-defining entry that connects two opposite sides of the board, and it may consist of two words. It highlights yellow when found. Find three non-theme words to earn an in-game hint that reveals letters of a theme word; if a hint is already active, the next one shows that word’s letter order. [Parade]
