Strands is a word-search-style game played on a six-by-eight letter grid. Trace theme answers through adjacent letters. The spangram expresses the puzzle’s overall theme and spans opposite sides of the board.
Letters for theme words are not the only way to make progress: finding three non-theme words of at least four letters earns a hint, which reveals letters in a theme answer. The theme words for this puzzle fit the shared movie-theater setting—equipment, concessions, and film-program terms.
