NYT Strands Today (Game #222) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #222, are…
- CUP
- BOTTLE
- PIPETTE
- GLASSES
- THERMOMETER
- SPANGRAM: CHEMISTRY LAB
- My rating: Simple
- My score: Perfect
Ah, the CHEMISTRY LAB. The pop of hydrogen/oxygen, the flash of magnesium, the smell of burning hair from someone who got too close to the Bunsen burner… those were the days. Fortunately, there are far fewer risks associated with solving Strands. And that’s especially true today, because it’s likely to be an easy task for most people.
As soon as I saw the theme clue of “Let’s Experiment,” I thought, “Science!” and knew what to expect here. And I was right: BEAKER and FLASK, my first two, confirmed the concept. Then it was a matter of thinking back to the time I’d messed around with potassium, phosphorus and all the other chemicals I probably should never have gotten near at the age of 13…
