How to use the hints while solving
Start with the theme clue, then look for the extra words listed above if you want the game’s hints to reveal theme-word locations. Search for connected letter paths, including diagonals and turns, rather than assuming each word runs in a straight line. Strands.Game describes those mechanics for its own 6×8 themed word-search, but it is independent of The New York Times and is not an official NYT rules source: Strands.Game rules.
