I’ve provided feedback (via settings → feedback) that the “share your results” should include any non-theme words that were found.
That’ll make the results more interesting to share.

Once I got the first word, after the hint, I was golden!

Today’s was more challenging than yesterday. I enjoyed it much more, but to me it’s still a word search. I used no hints. It would be a better game, IMO, if there were spare unused letters to make it more difficult.

I agree. You may want to provide them this feedback. They’re looking for feedback (check the settings menu) because this is still in beta.

I just submitted feedback, which I didn’t know was an option, so thanks!

I may change my tune later after more practice but I like the current set up. I’m personally not attracted or interested in some of the other games that either just aren’t my way of thinking or that are too time consuming for me to complete. I like a quick 5 minute habit of Strands right now. If word searches aren’t for you, then maybe stick to the other games.

I had a hard time. I found three long words that didn’t leave many letters left to search. I still couldn’t find any remaining ones and I couldn’t get the hint function to work. I kept entering random words just to get a hint, but only got one that flashed before my eyes so fast I really couldn’t read it. Couldn’t get any hints after that.

Then this morning, I rebooted my IPad and suddenly one more row of letters appeared at the bottom. That helped a little bit. :roll_eyes:

This may be a dumb question, but do you want to find words that are not associated with solving the puzzle?

The first thing I do is gather my three hints in case I need them so, yeah, I want to find random words. And if a word happens to be one of the “real” words then no harm, no foul.

Need to try this a few more times to see how I feel about it.

First day today. Figured out how to get hints, and used 2 hints. Once I got the second word it was very easy.
