In Strands, identifying the daily theme first will help you quickly spot related words in the grid. 

Start with the Theme 

1  

The spangram is key in Strands. Look for this special word early as it spans two opposite sides of the grid and ties the theme together. 

Focus on the Spangram 

2  

Strands allows you to unlock hints by finding non-theme words. Use these hints strategically when you’re stuck to avoid wasting them. 

Use Hints Wisely 

3  

Since the spangram in Strands touches two edges of the grid, start by searching near the edges to locate it more easily. 

Work from the Edges 

4  

Puzzle-solving skills improve with practice. Play Strands daily to enhance your ability to recognize patterns and themes efficiently. 

Practice Regularly
