How Strands hints work
Strands is a daily New York Times word-search game. In the general game description, its grid is six by eight letters; words can bend in any direction, and the spangram describes the theme while spanning opposite edges. Finding three non-theme words earns an in-game hint that reveals letters of a theme word. You can play on the NYT Strands page.
