How Strands hints work
In Strands, find the theme words by connecting letters on the board; words can be formed by dragging across letters or tapping them, then double-tapping the final letter to submit. Theme words remain blue and fit together without overlapping. The spangram describes the theme, connects opposite sides of the board, and turns yellow when found. Find three non-theme words to earn a hint that reveals the letters of a theme answer; if a hint is already active, it reveals that word’s letter order.
