The gameplay of Strands focuses on locating words or phrases relating to the topic mentioned, all within the letter grid given. To find the true meaning of the main theme, youโll need to find the Spangram, which will tell you the actual definition of the theme. Almost always, it will be a phrase or word, like book genres or cereals. Both before and after you find the Spangram, you can find words that relate to the overall theme, so, in the case of book genres, potential words would be horror or romance.
