NYT Strands Today (Game #224): The Answers
The answers to today's Strands game number 224 are…
- VEST
- SWEATER
- FLANNEL
- WOOL
- CARDIGAN
- SCARF
- SPANGRAM: FASHIONABLE AUTUMN
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 track
I needed the almost obligatory clue to get started today, since the 'Time to Get Cozy' theme clue didn't give me enough information to be able to determine that all the answers were examples of FALLFASHION as the spangram would say. .
Once I had that, it wasn't so bad, although my idea of autumn fashion (autumn fashion where I am in the UK) is more t-shirt and hoodie than CARDIGAN, FLEECE or FLANNEL. But they were all relatively easy to find and I doubt many people have a hard time today.
How was today? Send me an email and let me know.
