    Looking for the most recent Strands answer? Click here for our daily Strands hints, as well as our daily answers and hints for The New York Times Mini Crossword, Wordle, Connections and Connections: Sports Edition puzzles.


    Today’s NYT Strands puzzle has a pretty modern topic. If you’ve ever used Photoshop, or even one of many similar photo-editing programs, you’ll know all the answers. If you need hints and answers, read on.

    I go into depth about the rules for Strands in this story. 

    If you’re looking for today’s Wordle, Connections and Mini Crossword answers, you can visit CNET’s NYT puzzle hints page.

    Hint for today’s Strands puzzle

    Today’s Strands theme is: Pretty as a picture.

    If that doesn’t help you, here’s a clue: Photoshop that image.

    Clue words to unlock in-game hints

    Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:

    • LUTE, TORE, TATE, JUST, CARE, CARES, CARS, CARET, CARETS, SCAR, SCARS, SCARE, SCARES

    Answers for today’s Strands puzzle

    These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:

    • BLUR, CROP, ERASE, ADJUST, FILTER, ROTATE, MARKUP

    Today’s Strands spangram is PHOTOEDITOR. To find it, look for the P that’s six letters down on the far-left row, and wind up, over and down.
