How Strands hints work
In the instructions reproduced by Parade, players drag or tap letters to form words. Theme words are highlighted in blue and do not overlap. The spangram describes the theme, touches two opposite sides of the board, and may consist of two words. Finding three non-theme words earns a hint that reveals letters of a theme word.
