NYT Strands Today (Game #262) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #262, are…
- WASTE
- BONE
- COLLAR
- QUESTION
- BALL
- LASER
- CATNIP
- SPANGRAM: ANIMAL DELIVERIES
- My rating: Simple
- My score: Perfect
I have a dog and a cat, or rather, they own me, as I spend my money on food, treats and other miscellaneous ANIMAL necessities for them. And what do I get in return? Well, actually the dog, a sweet chocolate Labrador, gives me unconditional love. The cat, meanwhile, gives me…well, I get the honor of buying him food and treats and an assortment of ANIMAL necessities, and the feeling that I should be very happy with that and nothing more.
Anyway, this is a topic I’m all too familiar with, so finding all the answers wasn’t a big problem. I saw LITTER and BONE while looking for hints for this column, and once I did my best and gave it a good try, I got COLLAR and KIBBLE with no problem. It was one of the easier Strands puzzles (and few are that difficult, to be honest).
