Hints for Strands #630
If you want to solve the board yourself, start with the theme: “Sweet tooth.” The spangram has 10 letters. In TechRadar’s guide, its first touch is at the bottom of the third column and its last touch is at the top of the fourth column. Those location details can help you trace the word without revealing every answer.
Strands.Game describes the puzzle as a 6-by-8 grid in which letters can be connected horizontally, vertically or diagonally, with paths changing direction. It says the spangram names the theme and touches two opposite sides. The site also explains that finding three valid words outside the theme unlocks a hint highlighting one theme word; it is not affiliated with The New York Times. Strands.Game’s mechanics guide
