Strands Solver

Type any Strands board. Get one theme word at a time, or the whole answer.

Type the board's letters row by row, or paste all 48 at once.

How to solve a Strands puzzle

  1. Read the theme first: every theme word fits it, and the spangram names it.
  2. Look for the spangram early. It touches two opposite edges, so follow the runs of letters that cross the board.
  3. Every letter belongs to exactly one word. A corner letter has only three neighbours, so the word through it has few ways to go.
  4. Once a word is found, its letters are out of play: the words left must fill the gaps it leaves exactly.
  5. In the game, every 3 words you find that are not theme words, four letters or longer, earn a hint that shows the letters of one theme word.
How the solver works

How do I enter a Strands puzzle?

Type the 48 letters row by row from the top left, or paste them all at once.

How does the Strands solver work?

It traces every dictionary word through neighbouring letters, then picks the set of words that uses each letter exactly once.

How does it find the spangram?

The spangram is the word of that set that touches two opposite edges of the board.

What if the spangram is a phrase?

When no single word touches two opposite edges, the solver joins two words that run on into each other, as a two-word spangram does.

Can it give me one word at a time?

Yes. Next word shows one theme word on your board, and the spangram comes last.

Does the solver know today's puzzle?

No. It solves only the board you type; today's puzzle is on the Strands page.
