How the hint mechanic works
Strands is a themed word-search game. Try Hard Guides describes non-theme words as contributing toward hints; Fortnite Insider specifies that finding three non-theme words produces a hint. These mechanics are reported by the puzzle guides; the official NYT Games page was not available for verification when the guides were reviewed.
