How Strands hints work
In Strands, you find theme words by dragging or tapping letters. Found theme words stay blue and fill the board without overlapping. The spangram describes the theme, touches two opposite sides of the board, and turns yellow when found; it can consist of two words.
Finding three non-theme words earns an in-game hint that reveals letters from a theme word. If a hint is already active, it can reveal the order of those letters. These clue words are not puzzle answers: examples reported for this board include PRION, PRIONS, DAYLIGHT, CLOCKS, LION, and LIGHT.
