How Strands works
Strands is a word-search puzzle played on a 6-by-8 grid. Players connect letters horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, can turn while tracing a word, and search for theme words and a spangram that names the theme and touches opposite edges. According to a third-party rules explainer, finding three valid non-theme words unlocks a hint that highlights a theme word; the explainer says it is not affiliated with The New York Times.
