How Strands hints work
Strands is a daily word-search game played on a six-by-eight grid. Answers can bend through the grid, and each letter belongs to one answer. The spangram captures the puzzle’s theme and spans opposite edges. If you find three valid words that are not theme answers, the game awards a hint that highlights a theme word.
