Strands hub
Find the spangram.
A themed word grid where every letter is used. Find the spangram, then every theme word.
Today's Strands →How Strands works
Each puzzle hides a themed set of words in a 6×8 grid. One word — the spangram — stretches across two sides of the grid and names the theme. Every letter is part of a theme word.
Stuck? You can earn hints by finding valid non-theme words of 4+ letters.
Tips for cracking Strands
- Read the theme clue slowly. It's always a pun or indirect hint.
- Look for the spangram first. It reveals what kind of words you're hunting.
- Trace from corners. Theme words often anchor at grid edges.
- Use hints wisely. One hint tells you the letters; it doesn't reveal the word.
