How Strands hints work
Try Hard Guides and Fortnite Insider describe a way to earn in-game help: find three non-theme words of at least four letters to receive a hint revealing letters in a theme word. They also explain that the spangram touches opposite sides of the grid. These mechanics are reported by those guides; an official NYT rules page was not available in the sources consulted.
