The Mechanics of Strands
To tackle a Strands puzzle, your goal is to uncover the “theme words” hidden within the letter grid. You can manipulate letters by dragging or tapping to form words. Once you identify a theme word, it will be highlighted in blue. Even non-theme words play a role; for every three non-theme words of at least four letters, you will receive a clue to unscramble one of the theme words. Each letter in the grid is used exactly once, without any overlap. Additionally, every puzzle contains a “spangram,” a special word or words that hint at the theme and stretch across the board diagonally, highlighted in yellow. The aim is to complete the puzzle swiftly with minimal hints.
