How Strands hints work
According to the NYT instructions reproduced by Parade, theme words stay highlighted in blue, and players drag or tap letters to form words. The spangram describes the theme and touches two opposite sides of the board. Finding three non-theme words earns a hint that reveals letters of a theme word.
