What is Strands Unlimited?
This mode replicates the core mechanics of your favorite daily word-connection puzzles. The board features a 6x8 grid of letters where you must trace paths to find all the valid theme words. Finding the overarching 'spangram' summarizes the theme and completes the challenge.

How to Conquer the Strands Puzzle
Spot and lock theme words first
Use the clue to narrow category options, then collect short certainties to map the board.
Hunt the spangram as your backbone
A partial spangram reveal often turns a messy board into clear zones for remaining words.
Use hints as escalation, not default
Take the smallest hint level that keeps momentum, then scale only when a section is truly blocked.
You can sharpen grouping logic in parallel with Wordle Connections Solver.
