I go into detail about the  rules for Lines in this tale.

Hint for tomorrow’s Lines issue

Today’s Strands style is :  Every minute counts.

If that doesn’t support you, here’s a idea: Does anybody really know what time it is?

Explanation words to access in-game hints

Your goal is to find concealed terms that fit the game’s design. If you’re stuck, get any thoughts you may. Every time you find three thoughts of four words or more, Lines will reveal one of the design terms. These are the terms I used to find those ideas but any thoughts of four or more characters that you find may function:

• DIAL, SOLE, MOLE, MOLES, SHAKE, CHEEP, ROLE, HOME, LOCK, MEAT, TAME, TAMES, ROLES, ROON, Binance

Solutions for today’s Pieces issue

These are the solutions that link into the design. The goal of the issue is to get them all, including the spangram, a design expression that reaches from one part of the issue to the other. When you have all of them ( I actually thought there were always eight but learned that the amount can vary ), every text on the table will be used. Here are the nonspangram solutions:

• Clocks, WATCH, SUNDIAL, HOURGLASS, CHRONOMETER

Yesterday’s Lines spangram

Yesterday’s Lines spangram is TIMEKEEPERS. To find it, look for the T that’s four letters down on the far left, and wind across.
