NYT Strands Today (Game #208) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #208, are…
- Ditch
- WALL
- DRAWBRIDGE
- COURTYARD
- TOWER
- KEEP
- TURRET
- SPANGRAM: CASTLE
- My rating: Simple
- My score: Perfect
This was a spectacularly simple Strands puzzle. If the words “Medieval Wonder” don’t immediately conjure up a CASTLE in your mind, then you didn’t spend as much time playing with Legos, reading The Lord of The Rings, or watching Robin Hood growing up as I did.
I got the spangram right away, and that made finding the other answers all the easier. None were at all difficult to imagine or difficult to discover, and I completed the whole thing in about three minutes.
