In Strands, the player must carry out a modified version of the traditional word search. Up, down, left, right, and diagonal letters can be joined to form words, but words can also change direction to create oddball patterns and forms. Each letter in the grid will be a component of a response. 

Every solution has a theme that connects them, as well as a “spangram,” which is a unique word or phrase that either horizontally or vertically spans the entire grid and encapsulates the theme of the day. One can express determination with these words.
