    Another day, another easy Strands puzzle. Come on, NYT – give us something tougher! Admittedly, the theme clue of ‘What a stud!’ left things open, and maybe I’d have struggled a little more if I hadn’t uncovered CHEEK by accident when hunting for words. But once I had that it was clear what I needed to do. Completing it was then a simple matter of searching the word grid for parts of the body. Easy.

    How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
