Strands has a whole new puzzle today with a big jumble of seemingly random letters to sort through. This word-search puzzle is much more challenging than most of its kind, considering you don't know anything about any of the hidden words beforehand, minus one little clue.

Today's Strands is even more difficult a puzzle game than you might think, though. It contains a lot of challenging words with difficult spellings, at least one infrequently used term, and the one clue is not super helpful. But if you need assistance with this one, you can find help below.
