What’s New Version 1.2.5
Strands is now Topics! Fresh name, same great puzzles.
Description
Topics is a fresh take on the daily themed word game experience, combining classic Strands-style gameplay with an expanding world map full of discoverable levels and connected regions. Unlike most word search games that end after a single grid, Topics lets you explore a growing puzzle world while still offering the classic original mode fans already love.
Connect letters on a 6×8 grid to uncover hidden theme words, discover the Spangram, and solve clever daily challenges built around unique themes. Whether you want a relaxing daily brain game or a larger sense of progression and exploration, Topics delivers both.
A WORLD MAP WORD GAME EXPERIENCE
Most Strands-style games focus on one standalone puzzle at a time. In Topics, every completed level becomes part of a larger world map with persistent coordinates, connected regions, and expanding territory to explore.
• Explore an ever-growing world of themed word levels
• Unlock neighboring regions as you complete challenges
• Discover Bridge Words that connect adjacent zones
• Track your progress across the expanding puzzle world
• Return daily to uncover newly added areas and fresh themes
The result is a word game that feels bigger, more rewarding, and more immersive than a traditional daily puzzle.
