A combination of some uncommon (and uncommonly spelled) words and a relative dearth of vowels combine here to make this a tricky Quordle. On the latter point, NYMPH doesn't have any and THUMB only one, and while PUREE has three, the repeated Es rather counteract the fact that theoretically they might make it easier.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns.
