How Strands hints work
Theme words fill the board and stay highlighted blue once found. They do not overlap. The spangram describes the theme, touches two opposite sides of the board, and turns yellow when found; it may consist of two words.
To earn an in-game hint, find three non-theme words. A hint reveals the letters of a theme word, or its letter order if a hint is already active.
