How Strands hints work
Try Hard Guides describes Strands as a themed word search in which letters can be connected in any direction without reusing or crossing them. Its guide says finding three non-theme words of four or more letters earns a hint that highlights a theme word. This is gameplay context from that guide, not a statement about whether the rules have changed since this 2024 puzzle. Try Hard Guides’ July 2, 2024 answer page
