How Strands works
Try Hard Guides describes Strands as a themed word-search game. Letters can be traced in any direction without reusing or crossing them. The spangram describes the theme and stretches between opposite sides of the board. Finding three qualifying words that are not theme answers earns a hint highlighting a theme word. These mechanics are described by the guide, rather than verified here against the NYT game page. Try Hard Guides’ February 18 guide.
