Strands is a grid-based word puzzle: theme words share a subject, and the spangram describes that theme while spanning opposite edges of the board. An independent rules guide describes the board as a 6-by-8 grid, with theme words highlighted blue and the spangram yellow. These mechanics are described by a third-party guide, not an official NYT rules page.
