How the Strands hints work
In Strands, find theme words to fill the board by dragging or tapping letters. Each theme word is used once, without overlapping another word. The spangram describes the theme and connects two opposite sides of the board; it can contain two words. Finding three non-theme words earns an in-game hint that reveals the letters of a theme word.
