Come giocare Strands

Strands is a daily themed word-search on a 6×8 grid of letters. Every letter belongs to exactly one of the hidden theme words — six to nine of them, all tied to the day's theme. One word, the spangram, stretches edge to edge and describes the theme itself. Trace paths by dragging through adjacent letters (orthogonally OR diagonally). Find any non-theme dictionary word along the way and it banks toward a hint. There are no wrong guesses, no game-over — just a satisfying aha when the last path clicks. If you know NYT Strands, this is the same daily ritual — across more languages over time, free, no account required.

How Strands works

Strands is a daily themed word-search on a 6×8 grid. Every letter belongs to exactly one hidden theme word. Finding all the theme words plus the edge-to-edge spangram colours every cell on the board.

Theme words

Six to nine words per puzzle, all tied to the theme. Trace any 4+ letter path through adjacent cells — paths can bend diagonally. Finding one turns its cells green.

Spangram

One word per puzzle stretches edge to edge (left↔right or top↔bottom) and names the theme itself. Colours amber to distinguish it. Often the fastest way to crack the grid open.

Hints from bonus words

Trace any valid dictionary word that isn't a theme word and it banks toward a hint. Every three bonus words earns one hint. First click outlines an unfound theme word; a second click on the same hint reveals its start cell.

Consigli e strategia

1
Anchor on the theme, not the letters

Strands is theme-first. Read the theme card and brainstorm a dozen candidate words before you start tracing. Letter-first scanning (like Boggle) wastes time because the grid is too big.

2
Hunt the spangram first

The spangram touches two opposite edges. Scan left-column and right-column letters (or top-row and bottom-row) for pairs that could bookend a compound phrase matching the theme. Finding the spangram early reveals a large connected region for free.

3
Use bonus words to bank hints

When the theme eludes you, just find any real word. Every three dictionary-valid non-theme words earns a hint. Trace common 4–5 letter words you can see anywhere — they count even when they feel random.

4
Look for word shapes, not letters

Paths bend. A word like GRATER might start in one corner, hairpin, and finish two rows over. When an obvious candidate theme word doesn't appear in a straight line, trace it as a bent path — that's often where designers hid it.

5
Let coloured cells constrain the rest

Every letter belongs to exactly one word. As green and amber cells fill in, the uncovered region shrinks and constrains what the remaining words can be. Late-game, the last word or two usually falls out of the cells you have left.

Domande frequenti

What is Strands?
Strands is a daily themed word-search on a 6×8 grid of letters. Every one of the 48 letters belongs to exactly one theme word. Six to nine theme words fit the day's theme; one of them — the spangram — stretches edge to edge and names the theme itself. Drag or tap through adjacent letters (including diagonals) to trace a word. There are no wrong guesses and no game-over: you play until every cell is coloured in.
How is Strands on Wordle Global different from NYT Strands?
Same core mechanic — 6×8 grid, theme words, edge-to-edge spangram, drag-to-trace. Wordle Global adds: (a) a hint loop where every three valid non-theme dictionary words you find bank toward one hint; (b) both daily and unlimited modes; (c) no subscription; (d) an eventual rollout to 80+ languages. NYT's themes are hand-curated daily; ours start hand-curated and extend via an embedding-cluster pipeline that keeps themes semantically tight.
What counts as a valid path?
Any path of 4 or more letters that walks from cell to cell through the 8 adjacent neighbours (up, down, left, right, and diagonals). You can bend as much as you like — paths don't have to be straight. You can't use the same cell twice in one word. Every cell is used exactly once across the full set of theme words and the spangram.
What's a spangram?
The spangram is the one word per puzzle that touches two opposite edges of the grid (either top and bottom, or left and right). It's always the word that describes the day's theme itself — so if the theme is 'In the kitchen drawer', the spangram might be CUTLERY DRAWER. It colours amber when you find it, distinct from the green theme words.
How do hints work?
Every three valid dictionary words you trace that aren't theme words bank one hint credit. Clicking the hint button the first time outlines the cells of a random unfound theme word (you still have to find the path). A second click on the same hint reveals the starting cell for ordering. Hint usage is shown on your result but doesn't break your streak.
Is there an unlimited mode?
Yes. Visit wordle.global/it/strands?play=unlimited for endless fresh puzzles drawn from the same hand-curated pool. Unlimited doesn't count toward your daily streak.
Which languages are supported?
Strands launches in English. Other languages roll out mechanically as embeddings become available for those languages — the thematic-clustering pipeline is language-aware. Languages without embeddings can still get a generic variant (no theme card, same core mechanic) once their corpus has enough 4–8 letter words. Stats and the archive respect per-language availability.
Is Strands free?
Yes. Completely free in Italian, no account, no download, no ads during gameplay. A new themed puzzle every day.
