How Strands works
Strands is a daily themed word search played on a six-by-eight letter grid. Trace connected letters vertically, horizontally or diagonally; a word can change direction as you trace it. Theme answers light up blue. The spangram, which summarizes the theme and reaches opposite sides of the board, lights up yellow.
If you need help, find three valid words of at least four letters that are not theme answers. That earns a hint highlighting the letters of one theme word.
Spoiler: April 1 answers
Spangram: HILARIOUS
Other theme words: CHUCKLE, TITTER, GUFFAW, ROAR, LAUGH, HOOT and CHORTLE.
