Another day, another easy Strands puzzle. Come on, NYT, give us something harder! Admittedly, the “What a Stud!” themed clue left things open-ended, and I might have tried a little harder if I hadn’t discovered CHEEK by accident while looking up words. But once I had it, it was clear what I needed to do. Completing it was a simple matter of looking for body parts in the word grid. Easy.
