Perfection is the theme of today's NYT Strands. The May 12 puzzle asks you to think about a specific kind of thing that is nearly perfect, or at least the best of the best of its kind. The Spangram is what will give it away.
Strands 70 – NYT Word Search – May 12, 2024 #strands
Here's how to solve the Strands puzzle from May 12.
Today’s NYT Strands are perfect for finding an answer with random guesses, and that’s how I found my first word when trying to unlock a clue. At first I thought the answer had to do with real photos or art in some form, but that was only partially correct. As usual, my best tip for you is to remember that Spangrams are usually two words, and the Picture Perfect is no exception. If you find that one, you’ll easily complete the board.
While you can search for "photo" and "work" like I did, those aren't the right choices. I thought it was something like "artwork" because "work" was there, but I couldn't form the word. Instead, a random hit sent me in the right direction.
