How the puzzle works
In Strands, players drag or tap letters in the grid to form theme words. The theme words fill the board without overlapping. The spangram describes the theme and touches two opposite sides of the grid; it is highlighted in yellow, while ordinary theme words are highlighted in blue. Finding three words that are not theme answers earns an in-game hint.
