How Strands works

Strands gives you a grid of letters and a one-line clue. Find the theme words by connecting letters in any direction, including diagonally. Every letter is used exactly once, and the spangram runs from one side of the board to the opposite side.

How to find the rest faster

Once you have the spangram, it splits the board in two. Theme words never cross it, so search one side at a time, starting from the corners.
