NYT Strands Today (Game #224) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #224, are…
- VEST
- SWEATER
- FLANNEL
- FLEECE
- VEST
- SHAWL
- SPANGRAM: FALLFASHION
- My rating: Simple
- My score: 1 tip
I needed the almost obligatory hint to get started today, with the theme clue ‘Time to get cozy’ not giving me enough information to figure out that the answers were all examples of FALLFASHION as the spangram would have it . .
Once I had that, it wasn’t too bad, although my idea of autumn fashion (autumn fashion where I am in the UK) is more of a t-shirt and hoodie than a VEST, FLEECE or FLANNEL. But they were all relatively easy to find, and I doubt many people would have a hard time today.
How did you do today? Send me an email and let me know.
