NYT Strands Today (Contest #154) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands question, game #154, are…
- RING
- MIDDLE
- PALM
- LITTLE FINGER
- THUMB
- CUTICLE
- NAIL
- WISER
- SPANGRAM: AT HAND
- My score: Simple
- My score: Perfect
This is another easy Strands, made even easier by the theme clue that gives the game away before you even start. After all, “in glove” can’t really refer to anything other than the hand – and if, like me, you found RING or MIDDLE or PALM early on in the game, you’ve cemented that theme right there.
I don’t think it took more than three minutes at all, and the only problem was the word NAIL COLOR, as for some reason it took me a few tries to spell it!
