NYT Strands Today (Contest #148) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands question, game #148, are…
- MEET
- TO LEARN
- STUDY
- READ
- RENEW
- TO BORROW
- BROWSE THROUGH
- SPANGRAM: PUBLIC LIBRARY
- My score: Simple
- My score: Perfect
No problems here for anyone who loves books, which I would wager is most people would choose to play Strands every day. The theme clue didn’t give the game away completely, once and for all, and when I accidentally discovered MEET on my first guess, I wasn’t sure what the concept was here. But I understood it a little better when I found LEARN, STUDY, and READ, and the rest fell into place easily.
