Simple gameplay in Strands
Understand the objective
- Find the hidden words in the alphabet board that relate to the given theme.
- Words can be connected in various ways: horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or curved.
- When you find the correct word, the system will record it and your progress will be updated.
Observe the alphabet board and connect the correct words
- Scan the entire alphabet board for clues before connecting. When you find a suitable word, simply drag your mouse or tap the screen to connect the letters in the correct order.
- The game also has bonus words to give you hints when you encounter difficult levels, so don't miss any words you see.
Instructions for quickly finding the right topic word
Read the hints carefully
- Take a few seconds to analyze the topic keyword.
- Identify whether it's related to animals, food, occupations, or places.
Narrowing down the vocabulary range will significantly shorten your search time.
Find familiar words first
- Prioritize short, easily recognizable words directly related to the topic.
- Once you've revealed a few words, it will be easier to deduce longer or more complex words hidden on the board.
Observe prominent letter clusters
- Instead of looking at scattered letters, scan for clusters of letters such as prefixes, suffixes, or rare letters.
- These clusters are often the starting point of the topic word and help you connect them faster and more accurately.
