How it works
Start with a strands hint, then decide if you need anything stronger.
The homepage is meant to feel closer to a guided tool than a static article. Every step is designed to move you through the puzzle with the least spoiler-heavy strands hint that still helps.
Tell the tool what you already solved.
Type the words you already solved so the tool can narrow the next strands hint.
Get one useful clue instead of a full answer block.
Get one opening clue, then one unresolved target at a time instead of a full spoiler list.
Move to spangram help or spoilers only when needed.
Use spangram help and answer checks later, after the normal strands hint path is exhausted.
Spangram help

Some players only need one more angle. Others need the category anchor. Wordnudge keeps spangram help inside the same flow so you can escalate without abandoning the strands hint experience.
Spangram help belongs after the regular hint flow.
Spangram help is a stronger step, not the homepage's first promise.
Check the category anchor before opening full answers.

The goal is still progress, not a spoiler dump.
The goal is still progress through the puzzle, not a fast dump of every answer.
