How the puzzle works
Forbes describes Strands as a word-search puzzle played on a six-by-eight letter grid. Theme words connect through adjacent letters vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, and the spangram spans at least two sides of the board. Forbes also says three valid non-theme words of at least four letters unlock the Hint button. These mechanics are reported in its 2024 guide and may not reflect later rule changes.
