“We can see right through them”
🔵🟡🔵🔵
🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. A nice and easy one today. The first thing that struck me about today's board was the sheer density of the letter 'E'. There were ten of them, meaning that 'E's made up just over 20% of the whole board.
The theme made it pretty clear that this would be about eyes in some capacity, and I found SPECTACLES in the bottom-right corner to kick things off.
That helped me get the spangram of EYETOEYE, which cleared enough space in the top right to get my third answer of BINOCULARS.
The left-hand side was a little harder. I found GLASSES in the top-left corner, but separating the final two answers proved a bit more tough. Eventually I connected GOGGLES, which allowed me to bag LENSES above it and complete the puzzle.

“Low-key elusive”
💡🔵🔵🟡
🔵🔵🔵
Hi Strands fans. Today's puzzle caused me some initial confusion, and I had to use a clue to get started.
It revealed FAINT, and that, combined with the theme of "Low-key elusive" put me on the right track.
I was able to see NEBULOUS to FAINT's left, which helped firm up the shape of the spangram. It was BARELYTHERE, spelt backwards from the bottom-right corner to the top left.
Now I just needed to find three appropriate synonyms for things that are "faint" or "barely there". I spotted SUBTLE in the top-right corner, followed by UNDERSTATED to its left. All that left was to connect TENUOUS below it to complete the puzzle.
