How to use hints in NYT Strands
Strands asks you to find theme words on the letter board; found words remain highlighted. You can drag across letters or tap them, and theme words do not overlap. The spangram describes the theme and reaches two opposite sides of the board. Find three non-theme words to earn a hint that reveals letters in a theme word. Parade’s March 8 guide attributes these rules to The New York Times.
