Looking for a new challenge? Strands is here to put a twist on the classic word search, requiring sharp observation and a bit of strategy to solve. Here’s everything you need to know to get started, along with today’s answers.
How to Play Strands
In Strands, your goal is to find “theme words” hidden within a grid of letters. You can manipulate the letters by dragging or tapping them, and you confirm a word by double-tapping its final letter. Correct words will be highlighted in blue and will no longer be selectable.
Finding non-theme words still helps; for every three four-letter non-theme words you discover, you’ll get a hint—letters from a theme word will be revealed for you to unscramble.
Key Points to Remember:
- Every letter in the grid is used once.
- Each puzzle contains a “spangram,” a special word that spans the grid and touches two opposite sides. It highlights the theme of the puzzle and will be highlighted in yellow when found.
