Details

This tweek adds a floating Strands Solver sidebar to the New York Times Strands puzzle page. You can drag the sidebar where you want it, collapse it when needed, view live counts for letter states on the board, and run a word search based on the current grid.

Suggested words appear in a scrollable list with length and path direction labels, and you can narrow results with text and length filters. Clicking a suggested word highlights its path on the Strands grid, while Clear removes both the results and any active highlight.
