Looking for Tuesday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here:
Hello dearest Strandistarians. I'm once again taking over for my colleague Paul Tassi today in our quest to uncover words in your daily Strands puzzle.
Strands is the newest game in the New York Times' stable of puzzle games. It's a fun twist on classic word search games. Every day we're given a new theme and then tasked with uncovering all the words on the grid that fit that theme, including a spangram that spans two sides of the board. One of these words is the spangram which crosses from one side of the grid to another and reveals even more about the day's theme.
Spoilers ahead.
Read on for today's theme and some hints to help you uncover today's words. Instead of giving you the first two letters of each word, today I'm giving out three hints instead of two.
Today's Theme: Monster quest
Hint: Sasquatch type beasts.
Clue: Nessie, for instance.
Here are the first two letters of each of today's words:
Remember, spoilers ahead!
Today's spangram is: CRYPTIDS
Here's the full list of words:

Cryptids—today's spangram—are species that are rumored to exist but cannot be proven scientifically. It's possible that a KRAKEN is somewhere in the depths of the ocean, however unlikely, or that BIGFOOT roams the wilderness, perhaps befriending a JACKALOPE or two. I got a couple of these pretty quickly, but was pretty stumped for awhile. YETI wasn't too bad, but even though I suspected JACKALOPE it took me a good bit to find it as well as MOTHMAN.
How did you do on your Strands today? Let me know on Twitter and Facebook.

Atmospheric CO2 buildup broke another record in May
Climate-warming carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere broke another record last month, breaching 430 parts per million for the first time in recorded history. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, whose researchers track atmospheric CO2, publicly announced the findings Thursday morning. NOAA announced the findings in social media posts on X and Facebook, linking to the public data on its website. The agency also typically reveals the annual CO2 in a news release, like last year's announcement, but hadn't done so as of 12:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. Advertisement Kim Doster, NOAA's director of communications, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Ex-Biden adviser calls Jean-Pierre ‘kinda dumb,' deletes tweet, says she's not a ‘genius-level Black woman'
As criticism mounts from within Biden's world against former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and her new book, one ex-aide lambasted the now-Independent ombudswoman as "kinda dumb" — a tweet he deleted but later stood by. Timothy Wu, now a Columbia Law professor, was former President Joe Biden's "architect" of antitrust policy whose faculty bio claims he also coined the progressive term "net neutrality" in 2002. In a now-deleted tweet, Wu wrote: "from a [White House] staff perspective, the real problem with Karine Jean-Pierre was that she was kinda dumb." "[She had n]o interest in understanding harder topics. Just gave random incoherent answers on policy," Wu added in the trashed tweet. The X account "I work with my word" replied to the original tweet, calling it "pretty racist," and the tweet was later deleted, but the reply remained. Below the reply, Wu added a new line of commentary, saying the Biden White House was "full of genius-level Black women. [Jean-Pierre] was not one of them." In response to another X user asking Wu whether Trump White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt understands executive policy, the professor said a good ombudsperson will "meet with policy staff and try and understand what the administration is doing and why." Fox News Digital reached out to Wu via his Columbia faculty office, where he has taught since 2006. The former Biden adviser was also a Democratic primary candidate for New York's lieutenant governorship in 2014, and also worked in the Obama administration and at the Federal Trade Commission. Jean-Pierre announced Wednesday that she left the Democratic Party and has become an Independent while revealing her upcoming book: "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines." She was mocked and criticized by several people in Biden's orbit besides Wu, including one who said, "I wouldn't ignore what Karine has to say, but it's not an account in which much weight will be invested — just like her briefings." "At noon on that day [that Biden left office], I became a private citizen who, like all Americans and many of our allies around the world, had to contend with what was to come next for our country. I determined that the danger we face as a country requires freeing ourselves of boxes. We need to be willing to exercise the ability to think creatively and plan strategically," Jean-Pierre said of her new Independent streak.

Vallejo police make arrest in deadly triple shooting at homeless encampment
A man suspected in a triple shooting that killed two people at a homeless encampment in Vallejo over Memorial Day weekend was arrested in San Francisco, police said. With the help of U.S. Marshals, police arrested 45-year-old Eddie Charles Sample during an operation Wednesday at a location on Cravath Street on Treasure Island. Sample was taken into custody without incident. Police said Sample is connected to a shooting that took place at an encampment near Sacramento Street and Daniels Avenue on May 26. According to officers, three adult males were found with gunshot wounds around 5:30 p.m. Officers rendered medical aid to the victims until medical personnel arrived. Two of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while the third victim was taken to a hospital with a life-threatening injury. Police did not release the identities of the victims. Following the shooting, investigators identified Sample as the suspect. On May 30, detectives obtained an arrest warrant and requested assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service in locating him, citing public safety concerns. "The Vallejo Police Department will continue to direct every available resource toward holding violent offenders accountable and protecting our community. I want to thank the U.S. Marshals Service and our officers for their coordinated efforts and swift action in safely apprehending the suspect responsible for this senseless act of violence," Chief Jason Ta said in a statement Thursday morning. Sample was booked into the Solano County Jail on suspicion of murder. Jail records show he is being held without bail, with a court appearance scheduled for Friday afternoon. Anyone with additional information about the case is asked to contact Detective William Carpenter or Detective Wesley Pittman over email or by calling 707-651-7146 for Carpenter or 707-334-1274 for Pittman. Tips can be given anonymously by calling 1-800-488-9383.
