NYT Strands Today (Contest #136) – The Answers
The answers to today’s Strands question, game #136, are…

- CLIMBER
- BANKS
- SPANGRAM: PLAYGROUND
- My score: Simple

I miss going to playgrounds. They should make playgrounds for adults. Not serious, dangerous things with great heights and where you need to be in good physical condition, but nice playgrounds with merry-go-rounds and slides. I am sure there is a market here.
Anyway, regardless of my personal feelings on the merits of the PLAYGROUND, this was an easy Strands puzzle to solve. You really only needed to find one answer to figure out what the theme was, combined with the clue ‘Park place’, unless that first answer was BENCHES, which might be a bit out of place here. But all in all, this is a simple one.
