How the Strands hints work
Strands is a themed word-search puzzle. Letters in a word can connect in any direction, but they cannot be reused or crossed. The spangram describes the theme and runs between opposite sides of the board. According to Try Hard Guides’ rules explanation, finding three non-theme words of at least four letters can earn a hint that highlights a theme answer.
