◆ How TECHi covers Strands

Each daily page leads with progressive hints, ending with a blur-locked answer. You can stop reading the moment you crack it.

Bookmark once. The same URL serves the new day’s solve every morning — Google sees fresh modifiedTime, not a new page.

A permanent yesterday page (so you can finish a stuck puzzle) and an evergreen tutorial (so first-timers learn fast).
