How Strands hints work
Strands is a themed word-search game: find the theme words in the letter grid, along with a spangram that describes the theme and runs between opposite edges. Other valid words can count toward the in-game hint system. A new puzzle appears at midnight in the player’s time zone, so the puzzle described as “today’s” can differ by location.
