In the general gameplay described by the April 2024 guides, Strands uses a six-by-eight letter grid. Trace letters vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, changing direction as needed to spell a word. Find the theme words and the spangram, which connects opposite sides of the board.
If you are stuck, finding three valid non-theme words of at least four letters unlocks an in-game hint highlighting the letters of one theme answer. That is a general game mechanic, not a feature unique to puzzle #40.
