NYT Strands Today (Contest #195) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands question, game #195, are…
- BELT
- HANDBAG
- SHAWL
- JEWELLERY
- WATCH
- GLASSES
- SPANGRAM: ACCESSORIES
- My rating: Simple
- My score: Perfect
Anyone who knows me knows that fashion is not my strong suit. I just don’t care. So the concept of ACCESSORIZING is a bit foreign to me – I just wear jeans and a t-shirt, I don’t have to add Despite this inherent drawback, I solved this Stands puzzle quite easily – because it is indeed quite easy.
I’m not sure if the theme prompt, Elements of style, helped me much, but accidentally finding BELT and HANDBAG certainly did, and after that it was just a matter of racking my brain for things that fashionable people might wear. After a bit more time than I probably needed, I had them all.
