Strands Game

Strands Game is a popular online platform to play the daily Strands puzzle for free. It is a word-search game with a twist: players are given a 6x8 grid of letters, and players must find 6–8 theme words that fill the board entirely. No letters are left over, and no words overlap.

What is Strands Game?

Strands game is a popular online word-finding puzzle consisting of an 8x6 grid filled with different letters. Players discover theme words and one special 'Spangram' connecting two opposite sides of the board. Theme words turn blue when found, while the Spangram turns yellow.

How to Play Strands Game Online?

1

Strands game provides a simple letters grid from which you connect adjacent letters (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) to find theme words and the Spangram.

2

You can also guess valid non-theme words. For every 3 non-theme words you find, your hint bar fills up and grants a free hint.

3

You can then use that hint to highlight a hidden theme word directly on the board.

4

Drag your mouse or swipe across touch screens to select letters. Correct theme words lock in blue, while the theme-describing Spangram locks in yellow.

Rules in Strands Game

  • The minimum length of any valid word is 4 letters. 2-letter and 3-letter words cannot be submitted.
  • The Spangram describes the puzzle's theme and touches two opposite sides of the board (top to bottom or left to right).
  • Every letter on the board is used once and only once across all theme words and the Spangram.
  • No time limit: take as long as you want to explore the grid and deduce the secret theme words.

How to Find Non-Theme, Theme Words and Spangram

Tips and strategies to assist you in solving the Strands puzzle:

Understand the Theme: Carefully read Today's Theme clue. Brainstorm synonyms and related terms before dragging letters.
Hunt the Spangram: Look for a longer word connecting opposite edges. Finding the Spangram divides the board into manageable quadrants.
Collect Bonus Words: Whenever you're stuck, drag common 4+ letter dictionary words to earn free in-game hints.
