Strands reinvents the word puzzle genre, bringing a fresh twist with its thematic searches. Players are tasked with finding words tied to a daily theme, set within a letter grid. It’s a cerebral challenge, engaging players in a quest for words that transcend simple vocabulary tests.

Strategic Word Play

Crafted by Tracy Bennett of Wordle fame, Strands caters to both word game aficionados and novices. Its core lies in uncovering the ‘spangram,’ a thematic word that crisscrosses the grid, providing clues for uncovering related words. Unlike typical puzzles that penalize guessing, Strands encourages exploration, turning each session into a strategic game of connections.

Success in Strands hinges on focusing on the theme, using it as a compass for word discovery. The spangram is the puzzle’s linchpin, unlocking the theme’s essence and guiding players through the word maze.
