Strands is a themed word-search puzzle played on a 6-by-8 letter grid. Trace words through adjacent letters, including diagonally; a word’s route can change direction, and each letter can be used only once in that word. The spangram describes the theme and must touch two opposite sides of the board. According to the third-party Strands.Game rules guide, finding three valid words that are not theme answers unlocks a hint highlighting a theme word. The site says it is not affiliated with The New York Times.
