Decoding the Strands Gameplay
The objective of each Strands puzzle is to identify the “theme words” concealed within the grid of letters. By dragging or tapping, manipulate the letters to form words. Double-tap the final letter to submit your guess. Correct theme words will highlight in blue and become unselectable.
Finding non-theme words isn’t futile. Every three non-theme words of at least four letters earns you a hint – the letters of a theme word will be revealed, leaving you to unscramble them. Each letter in the grid contributes to spelling the theme words, with no letter used more than once and no overlaps.
Each puzzle features a “spangram,” a special theme word (or words) that embodies the puzzle’s theme and spans two opposite sides of the board. The spangram highlights in yellow when discovered. The ultimate goal is to solve the puzzle swiftly and efficiently, minimizing the use of hints.
