How Strands hints work
In Strands, finding three words that are not theme answers earns a hint. A hint reveals letters of a theme word; if a hint is already active for that word, it reveals their order. The spangram describes the theme, stretches between two opposite sides of the board, and is highlighted yellow. Found theme words remain blue.
