Contemporaneous guides describe Strands as a word-search puzzle on a six-by-eight grid. Players trace theme-related words and a spangram that captures their shared connection; each letter is used once, and paths can move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Finding three valid non-theme words of at least four letters unlocks a hint that highlights a theme word. Some puzzles may use phrase completion, synonyms, or homophones. These mechanics are based on secondary coverage, not a freshly confirmed official rules statement.
