How Strands hints work
Strands is a word-search game played on a six-by-eight grid. Trace connected letters to form theme words; paths can bend, words cannot overlap, and every letter on the board is used. The spangram describes the theme and stretches between opposite sides of the grid. Find three valid words that are not theme answers to earn a hint, which highlights letters in a theme word.
