Strands
The game Strands is like a word search, but each puzzle has a theme. You can use letters in any order, but you can't use the same ones twice or cross them out.
How to play
To start, join the dots that are on the edges of the grid. Setting limits and having a base to build on is helped by this.
Look for dots that can only be connected in a few ways. Most of the time, these dots tell you which way to go and can help you finish the puzzle faster.
Think about how your move will affect the rest of the game before you make it. Plan for possible obstacles or places where lines may cross, and change your plan as needed.
Some puzzles use more than one color. Try to picture the lines for each color separately and look for ways for them to overlap or work together without clashing.
Try out different ways without being afraid. When you reach a dead end, you can always undo your last move and try again.
Have fun and good luck!
