Strands Hint

The game also demonstrates how something as basic as an idea may quickly spiral out of control. Finding hidden words might seem like a simple task at first. Letter patterns, themes, language, deduction, and hints can be used to construct a myriad of decision-making levels. Not much goes into playing this game besides trying to decipher words from random strings of letters. Can you tell me what the word means, how it relates to the topic, and what it says about the hidden words?
